49's Hot Web Site of the Day
10:33 a.m. Tuesday, December 5, 2006
North Carolina resident B.J. Sintay doesn't mind other people tampering with the light display outside his home.
In fact, Sintay encourages it on his Web site, www.controltheshow.com, which allows visitors the opportunity to rearrange the lights with just the click of a mouse.
After signing up to control the lights for one minute, viewers can watch the display via Web cam placed in a neighbor's garage across the street.
Last year, 25 million people visited the site with 25,000 controlling the show.
But with 35,000 lights this year, Sintay expects even higher Web traffic.
Ironically, Sintay says last year's electric bill was only about $200.
He believes it's because most people opted to turn his lights off.
