> Do you remember how the founders of [...] NewsTilt were viciously shredded by an angry mob, right here on HN? No? Well, actually this happened. It was tempered by lots of people being nice, offering condolences, giving good insights, a few job offers, and even some people looking to start up companies together, but lets not pretend the mob didn't come out with their tar and feathers. That said, I fully agree with the sentiment. Failure is perfectly acceptable, a natural occurrence in a risk-taking industry.
