The Next Internet Millionaire

I’ve been following Joel Comm‘s Next Internet Millionaire Reality Show. I actually started to apply for the show, but decided against it as my time is stretched right now. Well it turns out that one of the people involved in DotNetNuke, Cliff Hammock, actually applied for the show and now has made it to the second round.

This system is very easy to utilize and you can build some fairly interesting items even if you have no programming skills at all. All that is required is the ability to use a mouse and a creative imagination. Don’t believe me, then check out some of the videos below.
