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:
“Yet, hermit and stoic as he was, he was really fond of sympathy, and threw himself heartily and childlike into the company of young people whom he loved, and whom he delighted to entertain, as he only could, with the varied and endless anecdotes of his experiences by field and river: and he was always ready to lead a huckleberry-party or a search for chestnuts and grapes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
