Looking through this list, the first thing that comes to mind is how unfair it is to leave off so many other qualified candidates -- here are just a few to get those memories flowin'!:
- Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) -- this company had all the makings of a modern-day reality show - money, sex scandals . . . the works!
- DrKoop.com -- the namesake of the former surgeon general that raised almost $100 million through its IPO and was out of money within about a year
- UrbanFetch.com, Webvan.com and Kozmo.com -- the trifecta of home grocery delivery disaster
- Boo.com - fashion flop
- Flooz.com and Beenz.com -- a little before their time?! Can you say "Facebook Wallet?"
- Kibu.com and Snowball.com - good idea (target young women) bad . . . ?
Wonder what the Web 2.0 list will look like . . . any predictions?!?
