Top 10 Dot Bombs:
Of CNET’s Top Ten Dot Com Flops, the one I miss the most is Kozmo.com, which delivered stuff to you for free. It was like a drug store on wheels, perfect for when you needed batteries or dental floss or a bag of Funyons and were too lazy to leave the house.
I hear Pink Dot in Los Angeles does the same thing and has attained some mythic status. Based on it’s Sunset Blvd. location, it became the Stoner 9-11, munchies or condoms at any hour of the night. Alas, we’re not so lucky here in San Francisco. And although I only used Kozmo once, I still miss it a little (via Kottke).
