You haven't included Digg - a perfect example of getting big instead of polishing the product.

  Digg's product is crowd sourced news. They failed through poor community management not a lack of innovation in their UI.

    Their product had numerous bugs in each new version, that drove the users away too. Had they not been on a rush, they'd probably tested more.

    Didn't they fail because they were too proud to copy Reddit's subreddit structure the week after Reddit pushed it live?

      The biggest reason was Digg v4, which was buggy, didn't have features present in the previous version and basically sold the readership to tech news outlets. By the time they fixed it, everyone went to Reddit.
