Too bad they're still not up and running. I used to love following along on that site from time to time.

Man, what a field day that site would be having these days!!

The guy that ran it wrote a book called "F'd Companies: Spectacular Dot-Com Flameouts". Great read. You can get it on Amazon now for like $2 brand new.

Yep, he started httpads which turned to marketbanker which turned into adbrite. Adbrite received MILLIONS in VC funding. Pud aka Philip Kaplan, the owner of Fuckedcompany used to post at GFY. He also started moblog a mobile blogging site.

What's SCARY is that FC used to focus on shitball dotcom companies that you can tell were going to fail. Now... there's many consumer and producer level large companies and banks that are almost "too big to fail" that are Failing.

Next stop--AIG's biggest corporate loss in history.

"Rumor has it Portera has been acquired for peanuts by Exigen Group, a future fucked-company that buys fucked companies. Word is Portera kept about 100 out of 140 employees unpaid for two weeks before letting them go with no severance and not even a thanks (forget about a reach-around). Remaining staff got a 15% pay cut and are all looking for a job to escape exigen which doesn't seem to give a shit about Portera employees."

AHAHAHAHA
