I’m tracking the latest casualties of the dotcom crash, including Chemdex, Send.com, Musicmaker, and Foodline. These closures represent a significant wave of failures across B2B, retail, and service sectors during the early 2001 market downturn.
I documented evidence of the 2001 recession by tracking massive layoffs and plant closures at major corporations, including General Motors, Boeing, WorldCom, and AOL, highlighting a broad economic downturn across tech and manufacturing.
I follow the widespread layoffs at companies like AT&T and Motorola, while identifying TheStandard's layoff tracker as an essential resource for keeping pace with the rapidly shifting job market during the dot-com era downturn.
I found a hilarious satire about Umashankar Dikshit, a Silicon Valley priest who performs Lakshmi poojas for tech startups. It’s a perfect look at the dotcom bubble’s absurdity, where priests receive stock options and VCs fund napkin-sketched business plans.
I'm highlighting the start of the Consumer Electronics Show 2001, the premier event for new technology. It's a key moment for tracking emerging hardware trends and the latest gadget releases from major global manufacturers.
I explore the emergence of the B2E (Business to Employee) model as a potential successor to B2B and B2C trends, reflecting on how internal corporate portals and employee-centric services might reshape organizational efficiency and engagement.
