- byoung2 17y agoIt sounds a lot like this internet boom era company: http://news.cnet.com/2100-1017-250529.html http://news.cnet.com/2100-1017-250529.html "2001: The financial woes of Mercata, which lets shoppers band together to get discounts on items by purchasing them in bulk, are just another sign of how cash-strapped Internet companies are having a hard time getting investors to come back to the trough. It also marks another investment by Allen's venture firm, Vulcan Ventures, that has folded its doors."
