At any given time, there are generally only one or two websites I look forward to seeing an update from on a regular basis. Back in the day, it was The Onion. These days, it is uncov. It’s pretty much the anti-TechCrunch (although I like TechCrunch as well). They pick startups which they think are bad ideas, and tear them up. They’ve given new meaning to the word “Fail.”
A few of my favorite uncov articles (you’ll see the lead image is often funny on it’s own):
- Their June 2007 coverage of Pownce
- Their spat with Robert Scoble
- The lead image on their Timebridge coverage is inexplicably funny to me (as is the word “failroad”).
- A pretty solid (and funny) response to the hype around Zoho Viewer.
- Graphing lolcats’ daily reach against Mahalo
I can only aspire to one day have a startup featured on uncov.
MOAR TOM LIANZA!
