dot.bomb

I just finished the audiobook version of "dot.bomb" today. The book, which is the story of one dotcom that failed as told from the POV of one of its employees, held my interest for the most part but by the end I realized I had just wasted about 7 hours of my life listening to a story that anyone in the high tech industry is probably all too familiar with.

Just substitute different names for the company, the CEO and founder and all the other players and you could have just about any dot.bomb out there. In fact, some of them might be a little more interesting (like the place I used to work, Skyfish!) Still, if you've never worked for a dotcom, it might be worth a read or listen.
