Shutdownify, the world's first "Shutdown Notice as a Service" company, is no more. Although an ever increasing number of failed startups need to post shutdown messages, it turns out they don't usually have the money to pay others to do it for them. "It is a stinging irony that we now must use our own product to post this shutdown notice. Shutdownify's last meal is its own dog food."

    "Slashdot-style" is being a bit charitable; if I recall correctly, the comments section was called the "Happy Fun Slander Corner". However, it was a good way of keeping score of the companies, small and large, that faltered and failed in the early-2000's bubble. While I don't miss how crass it was (and I remember that the canonical name for the website was "doomcompany.com"), we desperately need a "cloud-startup-economy deadpool" to track the failures of these startups (and giant companies who want to emulate the asinine workplace attitudes and hyperactive stress generation of startups). At least it would offset the smarm of TechCrunch and their ilk.
