Top 10 dot-com flops

Funny, Pets.com was building their new headquarters on the same block South of Market where I was working at the time. It was a beautiful structure of glass and steel, and about a month after it was finally finished, they went under. I wonder what ever happened to that building?

Ah, Good Times, good times …

The most astounding thing about the dot-com boom was the obscene amount of money that was spent.

    Hey, you have a great blog here. I know this has nothing to do with your site but I have a new blog that I’ve just started, its been up for a couple of days. I gave my blog a cool title which seems to attract visitors:

    http://www.adminsupervisor.blogspot.com

    Have you got any suggestions about stuff you would like to read about??? Take a look if you get the chance. I want my blog to be cutting edge…a good read. lol…your’ll understand when you see it!

    The other site I have is a work from home in the uk site. Its all about, need I say it, working from home. I think people should have the choice to build their own income instead of somebody else’s. Freedom of well being and all of that…anyway take a look see what you think.

    Keep up the good work, I’ll be back to visit + I’ll be at any suggestions you have about my blog.

    Well, I don’t know if reni is a comment spammer, but even if he/she was, it’s in vain. See, Blogger tags all hrefs in comments with REL=”nofollow”, which Google doesn’t follow. So, trying to “poison” comments in Blogger doesn’t work :)
