'Tiniest' website get big hits

A website which claims to be the smallest in the world has attracted around 100,000 visitors in less than two weeks.

The site is no bigger than an on-screen icon but has four games including pong and space invaders.

It also has five galleries, a drum kit, a musical keyboard, a fruit machine, a search engine and even a web cam.

The website was put together by a designer who wanted to test the sharpness of his new computer screen.

Alan Autten says he's constantly updating www.guimp.com and plans to add a Formula One racing game.

The site has an art gallery, a gallery of famous faces including Frank Sinatra, and a news page.

Alan, who is a director of the London Design Collective, said: "There is no restriction on the content. It has really taken off. People seem to like the simplicity of it. Some sites carry so much information that you don't really know where to start."

I would have signed the guestbook, but I can't write 'an X' that small :-)
