The Greatest Defunct Websites and Dotcom Disasters
NotableCathy writes "CNet has an interesting retrospective write-up documenting the most notable dotcom disasters and now-defunct Websites that were massive in their day, detailing what happened to them and what they led to. Nupedia didn't escape a slating (remember Larry Sanger's memoir?), or indeed Beenz, whose founder and CEO once said 'would become the universal currency, supplanting all others,' according to The Register seven years ago."
Thank God we live in the enlightened days of Web 2.0, in a bubble that will never burst!
Commodore64_love: I don't comprehend people who're so frightened of death that they'll bankrupt themselves to stay alive
Beopen.com .. Hired a full staff of reporters with the dream of competing with slashdot.
When it ran out of money a guy I know came back with T-Shirts. Not the cheap ones you get at trade shows but solid fruit of the loom stuff that lasted me 7 years of constant use (I throw shirts out when they get their first hole) as it turns out that was longer than the company lasted in the first place.
The chairs were sweet!

The cost of that cleanup, of course, will be borne by taxpayers, not industry.
Yeah, I just found the info on wikipedia. Slashdot would not let me reply to my own post for whatever reason. Apparently, I do not deserve a second chance. :)

Where does one submit resumes for becoming a Dot-com distaster? I find dot-coms to be extremely distasteful and I would like to share my experiences on the matter.
How, for the love of God, how....

I still wake up in a cold sweat sometimes screaming "I think I can see his kidneys, my eyes, my eyes!"

somewhere, a cliche has just died...
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it

UTF-8: There and Back Again
If you are jaded to seeing a guy with both hands buried with all 10 fingers deep in his ass, cranking it open directly in front of the camera like he was wrestling with an alligator's mouth, then you, my friend, really need to take a break from internet porn. Maybe stick to scat and dog fuckers before moving back on to Japanese enima sex and two girls with one cup.
Could it be, that maybe YOU are the goaste man and are miffed at the negative response you've gotten from your skillfull anal theatrics?
