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.
