Great article which reiterates the point that even a failed startup can be a great experience. It is also an important reminder that the best software does not always (or even often) win out, so it is important to consider other issues when working on your product. It also demonstrates that a failure does not necessarily indicate a lack of ability or innovativeness on your part, but perhaps simply a small oversight or an inability to overcome inertia.


Wow, the past was an awful place... :)

The video is fun to watch too: http://www.archive.org/details/Business1987_3
