Ebituaries: Home Of Dead Dot-Coms

Posted by on Aug 30, 2004 | 2 Comments

Remember the dot-com boom of the late nineties? Entrepreneurs and others wanting to make a quick buck all jumped on the bandwagon hoping for success. Several millionaires emerged from this period, but it wasn’t caviar dreams for everyone. The subsequent crash of the industry left multitudes of people in the digital dust. I’m sure that we can all think back to a good (or dreadful) company that went under. Ebituaries: Home of Dead Dot-Coms catalogues the failure of some of these companies.

You may recognize a couple of the down and out businesses listed here. Each company featured has a screenshot of their homepage after they went under. Some of the messages are humorous, while others tell the sad tale of trying to make it in the new economy. If you’d like, you can even make comments about the company, and the goodbye message that they posted. It’s all pretty sad when you think about it. I mean, I can think of numerous occasions when LifeJacketStore.com would have been helpful.

    Dropbox also works extremely well, and provides many of the features of SpiderOak, but also adds the ability to access files offline, sync across Windows, Mac, and Linux, and they also have an iPhone and Android app. You can also expand your storage space by either purchasing it, or inviting friends. Additionally, you can share a folder inside your Dropbox with other people running Dropbox, and you can even share files publicly by placing them inside a folder where a URL is automatically generated. Finally, using another special folder and folders inside of it, you can make web slideshows of photos. Dropbox is all around better.
