Great article. Interestingly enough, Webvan holds the #1 spot. I'd heard of this site before it became famous for being a flop, as the CEO of Webvan, George Shaheen, used to be the CEO of Andersen Consulting. I never liked the guy when I was at Andersen, so I was pleased to see Webvan go Pete Tong spectacularly... although sadly Shaheen made a helluva lot of money out of it nonetheless (anyone else fancy being
forgiven from paying back a $6.7 million loan?
).
After Shaheen drove Webvan into the ground, he's now at Siebel... who are struggling big-time since Thomas Siebel stepped-down, so I'd expect to see them feature in this list in a few years' time, once Shaheen has worked his 'magic' there too.
