25 Internet Startups That Bombed Miserably

By Miss Cellania in Blogs & Internet on Jul 28, 2008 at 10:35 am

For every internet success story, there are many more failures. Most just disappeared quietly, but these 25 had rather public flameouts. Why did they fail? Some offered a product no one needed. Some went up against another startup that did it better. And some were victims of hubris, mismanagement, or bad luck. Business Pundit has the stories behind 25 of them. Link -via Digg

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Go is still around – so technically, it did not fail.

However, it did not fully live up to its potential

I miss Webvan. It was so nice to have someone else haul my groceries upstairs, as well as do the shopping. I would have paid for delivery to keep the service going.

What, no Cuil? That thing launched, sharkjumped, and bombed all in less than 48 hours… that has to be a record.

LOL @ SoLo

Yeah I tried Cuil and its results are bad. Maybe it is just teething as it has only just been launched.
