If you read "The Black Swan" this topic is discussed at some length. I believe that the consensus out there is that no one wants to read about failure. It seems extremely interesting to me but apparently no one wants to read about it.

- pbhjpbhj 17y agoFailure and the reasons for failure (failblog!) can be entertaining, interesting and informative. I think the idea is good but most failures will just be - "we ran out of money", "we decided to do something else", "a key person had a family problem and left", "we had a rubbish idea". Mind you even these mundane things could be good if written well.
