More Dot-Com Failures

My last post looked at the failure of Flooz.com which raised and lost approximately $35m in its 2 year existence. This was however a relatively small failure in the dot-com era, and there were many other spectacular failures in the run up to the dot-com bubble bust.

For those readers who are interested in reading more about some of the biggest failures of the time, there is a really interesting list you can read at cnet.com which profiles 10 of the greatest failures of the dot-com bubble.

I also found a great info-graphic produced by GDS Infographics on Flickr that provides an excellent graphical representation of the scale of some of these failures. And here is a final image that sums up the boom and bust of the dot-com bubble.
