First off Internet incubators were not places broken eggs went to hatch, they were places bright young hens and roosters came to assemble the eggs. Gee paw, what's what mean? These incubators were not tombs of ideas that bunched together failures and hoped to reanimate them, they took 'good' ideas and tried to make them fly.

That settles your first misconception.

Your second misconception is that doing that sort of things is a good idea: it isn't. Even the title of the post (maybe changed by the editors) suggests you don't believe this idea, since hospices are places people who have given up (i e people that are terminal, and medicine is useless except to ease the pain) go to die.

The Internet doesn't need that. It needs bad ideas flushed right out. Just like taking a failing Indian restaurant and roofing it with a failing Mexican restaurant isn't going to be a good idea, putting two failing dot-coms together on one URL is also not.

Dot-coms fail for a variety of reasons, like restaurants, and it isn't always the 'food,' but also the location, timing and price. Moving it with something else that is rejected doesn't escape any of that.

The closest thing I could imagine to what your saying is an Internet warehouse that comes along and buys up unsold merchandise from different dot-coms and shops it around to buyers at discount. But that isn't the same thing.

A bad idea is a bad idea, at least for the time being.
