While browsing Quora the user generated questions and answers site that’s created, edited, and organized by everyone who uses it I came across an interesting question. It was “(93/3) What is the all-time greatest failed Internet startup?

Some of the answers brought back memories of the first dot com bubble and included startup such as etoys.com, Amp’d Mobile, Boo.com, Friendster, and Pets.com.
