The Newest Silicon Valley Blog Sensation: FuckedStartups.com

Over the past few days, there has been an enormous amount of buzz on FuckedStartups.com.

Essentially, it features tech companies that are either:
1. Going to lay off people or
2. Tipped that a company may (not confirmed) lay off people or
3. Are basically closing up shop

You'd be surprised the number of companies that are folding/laying off day after day. It's sorta shocking, even with the greater economic turmoil that's happening.

Every day, I thank my lucky stars that I still have a job. These is seeming to really feel like the early 2000's tech/internet bubble burst. Ugh.
