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):

1. Their June 2007 coverage of Pownce
2. Their spat with Robert Scoble
3. The lead image on their Timebridge coverage is inexplicably funny to me (as is the word “failroad”).
4. A pretty solid (and funny) response to the hype around Zoho Viewer.
5. Graphing lolcats’ daily reach against Mahalo

I can only aspire to one day have a startup featured on uncov.
