The World's Largest Dry Erase Board??

What an interesting concept - here's a snippet from the press release:

Young entrepreneur, Rohail Rizvi, 18, launched www.WriteonMyBoard.com a few weeks ago, the world's largest spanning dry erase board ad space, and the site has already seen a surge of interest. Rizvi, who maintains his own blog at www.RohailRizvi.com, details how he arrived at the idea of serving up ad space in such a creative manner on his site.

"I had just opened up a fresh dry erase board last night and was ready to write out my summer schedule," says the 18-year old soon-to-be sophomore and Finance major at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. That's when, he says, he was hit with the idea of WriteonMyBoard.com. "I thought to myself- why not have a dry erase board that spans the globe?" Span the globe indeed he did as his site now only being up for a few hours already has had visitors everywhere from New Zealand to Malaysia.


This is a really cute idea - You get to pick the color of "ink" you want on the dry erase board and prices go up depending on the color. For example, black is the cheapest at $3, while red will cost $5. Handy paypal links make it easy to get your message up there fast.

Even Travel.com took advantage of this unique opportunity. What a great innovation!
