I remember showing my father the www, probably 20 years ago, and he was incredulous that certain .coms would exist for any reason. "You're telling me I could type 'shoes.com' and there would be a page about shoes? No way." I don't remember shoes actually being on the page anywhere, prompting the response "see? I told you it wouldn't work." From the article: "Its approximately 200 employees were made aware of the decision early on January 27, and the company said that it will compensate the employees through to the end of the month." Gosh, how generous of them. A whole 5/7th week severance. I wonder if they were in talks with Walmart for a buyout but they acquired shoebuy instead in early January. Either way shoes.com should have shut the doors earlier and given employees more notice.
