return to the museum of I-Failure return to ghost sites of the web go to the netslaves archive DotComGuy.com On the Web, timing is everything, and the DotComGuy project's timing was miserable. In 1995, or even as late as 1998, the idea that a guy would legally change his name to "DotComGuy," lock himself in his apartment for a year and attempt to meet all his material needs via e-commerce would certainly have been considered innovative. But by 2000, when DotComGuy.com launced, the whole dotcom world was crashing, real people losing their jobs, livelihoods, and stock options, and peoples' tolerance for cute dotcom stunts had worn thin.
