Fucked Company was a website created by Philip J. "Pud" Kaplan as a "dot-com dead pool" that chronicled troubled and failing companies in a unique and abrasive style after the dot com bust in 2000. The web site also sold rumor listings to subscribers. The site's name is a parody of Fast Company, a magazine that began covering technology companies during the Internet dot-com boom.
As of August 2007, the site ceased posting new content and later converted its main page to the simple message:
Fuckedcompany is... fucked.R.I.P. 2000-2007. If you're just now seeing this website for the first time, ask someone who was in the internet business during "round 1" to tell you all about it.
Famous quotes containing the word company:
“We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind’s door at 4am of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
