Worthy spinoffs:

The first 'cursor site' was "close eyes, click , open eyes, guess" - an interactive YTMND considered to be the "first YTMND game" according to Wired Magazine's Table of Malcontents blog. Several spinoff YTMNDs ensued, most notably the popular Khan Finds his Pointer. Alternate versions quickly surfaced to accomodate users with custom cursors or Apple's default cursor. Months after the "close eyes" cursor YTMND came a series of "interactive cursor" YTMNDs which led to the creation of several cursor-based sites, starting with Cursor Paradise.
