A reader "This is for real. FuckedCompany.com is for sale!
The owner is selling it on eBay. Six hours ago it was at $2.24 with 2 bidders, but now it's up to 40 bidders, at $20,300.
See the auction right now.
" Somehow, I think this is the logical extension of the eBay philosphy. You can read about it on the Web site as well.
Update: 09/11 01:53 PM by CT : Two points: this is a real Web site, not just a domain name. Its actually really funny: you rate companies' chances of survival. But this really is just a stunt to draw press (like this) and traffic (if you happen to click the link above) to a clever site. It's a cute one and an interesting site for gauging people's opinions of companies.

Why go public when there is ebay?
OTOH, out of sixty some bids, there have only been twenty some bidders (in other words some bidders have bid more than once, i.e. they've come back to bid anew after being outbid the first time.) There have also been two retractions, one of which had a great explanation:
So the question is, how many of the bids have been serious? I'm pretty sure the 'winner' (I don't know if 'winner' is a good title for the winning bidder of this one) could make a good case that since some of the bidding was fraudelent (dweebs dorking around the system just to see how high they can get the price to go), they can back out.
IIRC, something similiar happened with Sue, the T-Rex. The owner put her bones on ebay and jokers spoiled the auction. The owner eneded up reauctioning the bones on millionaire.com where bidders are pre-qualified.
I'm also jealous as spit. I've made close to $1,000 this year on ebay by auctioning off my unwanted junk. I should have just started a weblog and auctioned it...

The other FC (Score:4)
Fast Company [fastcompany.com] is a rah-rah newspaper that tells how wonderous all the dot-com companies are doing and how successful they all are. F*cked Company is a rather logical nomenclature for FC's antithesis newsletter during these months of cleaning out the dot-com failures.
Fast Company actually has a feature headline today: "When the going gets tough, the tough get real". Those flipping through the dot-com carnage at F*cked Company may beg to differ.

If your idea is a good one, you can always find a new domain name. And you'll have all that extra money to make your idea worthwhile.

Wouldn't that make perfect ironic sense? (Score:3)
BTW, my theory has always been that all companies are intrinsicly f*cked in some way... every company I have worked at has been a little f*cked...
