Dot.com to Dot.bomb

The Dot.com industry went wild in the mid to early 90's. It was a time where people made many attempts to make money off the growing industry opportunity, however, they were quick acting. Many companies went under due to many factors. Competitors were no longer confined to locality, but the world could view what they had to offer. It was essentially a dog eat dog world. Some companies prospered and caused smaller companies to go down. It wasn't only who could find your site, but how well the site worked with users. It was a new technology that many didn't understand and opened up the world of e-commerce. Now people are finding new and innovative ways to sell their products to the public, with competitiveness that may help smaller businesses prosper.
