Before you mock these people / companies, please list your achievements as well as your failures. If you are any kind of a businessman, you've had plenty of both.

i think you missed the point of the thread.
I have had more started projects that either weren't finished or failed then most of the people on GFY. HOWEVER, I didn't run to GFY each time about this really cool "IDEA" i had and hyped the shit out of it, told everyone how great is *was* going to be, in some cases ignored people's feed back who pointed out things about it that weren't good and gave suggestions on how to make it better... then the project either doesn't launch or it does for a couple days and it was total shit. Days, weeks go by and you never hear another word about it.
I've mentioned only 2 of my projects over the years on GFY. Both times I advertised them here, and promoted them. I didn't brag or hype it either time. I also didn't start talking about it until after the site was launched. I didn't do the pre hype that you get from some people even before they start building the site... I never bragged. 1 project was a success, one i pulled the plug on after 2 months because it wasn't sticking and making money.
