On this week’s episode, one of the most spectacular collapses of the dotcom boom and bust: eCommerce retailer, boo.com.

Boo.com was in development for two years and operational for one of those two years. Not a long time, even in dotcom’s warp speed world. But in those two years, boo.com set the standard of what not to do when it comes to internet retailing.

And it shaped how we, in 2020, shop online.
