what went wrong ?!?

The entrepreneurs of various startups shared with signal vs. noise the reasons why their ideas didn't make it. For example, Brian Mulloy, CEO of Swivel, a site where people shared reports of charts and numbers, which had thousands of registered users, but less than ten paying ones. shared the difficulty of making a truly functional product:
"there are so many details that go into turning an original idea into a product, most people don’t realize that. You can spend a lot of time on that. In fact, to the point where a year goes by and all you’ve done is that you’ve fixed a bunch of bugs. So you can either scale back the features and only support a limited set of functionality, or scale up your team to support all of those things."
Definitely worth reading for anyone aspiring at taking a shot with an idea.
