Ari Paparo‘s article explains the failure of Blink.com to become the del.icio.us of today back in 1999. He is lamenting now that Yahoo! purchased del.icio.us (for $25mil?) about what he and his colleagues failed to see back then. It is always refreshing to read people’s account of failure without them throwing dirt at the ones that succeeded… saying stuff like “we were wrong” instead of… “they are idiots with a lot of luck” or “we were visionaries before our time.” People who can do that, like Ari, are commendable…. I thank him for the insights.
It’s nice when someone rationalizes failure without throwing dirt
