Book excerpt: For a heady nine months, until the spring of 2000, Britain had dot.com fever. Lastminute.com's youthful founders saw their fledgling company soar to a valuation of £750 million, and Martha Lane Fox became a media star. Clickmango.com raised £3 million in just days to sell helth products online. Old-style industrial giantswere edged out of the FTSE 100 by e-commerce newcomers employing handfuls of people and losing a fortune... And then, just as swiftly, the bubble burst. London's hi-tech stocks followed New York's Nasdaq downwards. Boo.com, the flashiest website of all, went through £100 million in mere months in its mission to see designer sports gear. Financial analysts talked about 'burn-rate', and even the most glamorous start-ups couldn't defy the oldest law of business. Why did it all go so horribly wrong? Now, Rory Cellan-Jones tells the full story of this brief, fabulous, often farcical epoch, from our own now-forgotten Net pioneers to the exclusive few who really did make untold riches - like the man who thought up Freeserve - and follows the destinies of the dot.coms all the way from the glitzy launch to the deserted offices after all the cash had been burned through. Dot.Bomb is the compulsive tale of a never-to-be-repeated time when it seemed anyone could become an instant millionaire - at the click of a mouse.

Book excerpt: For a period of nine months - up until the spring of 2000 - Britain dot.com fever. The two young founders of lastminute.com saw their eighteen-month-old company, which has still not made a penny in profits, launch on the stock market at a valuation of 750 million pounds. Clickmango.com raised a million pounds in half an hour to sell health products and cosmetics online. Rumours abounded of youthful entrepreneurs closing dot.com start-up deals in lifts. Old-style industrial giants with huge turnovers and workforces were edged out of the FTSE 100 by internet newcomers employing handfuls of people and often losing a fortune. And then, just as swiftly, the bubble burst. As New York's NASDAQ index began to head downwards, London's hi-tech stocks soon followed. Boo.com, the flashiest internet site of all, went through 100 million pounds in a matter of months in its mission to sell designer sports gear over the Net. Soon, business analysts were talking about 'bum-rates', and even the most glamorous start-ups were learning they couldn't defy the oldest laws of business. But why had the sober world of investment finance, not to mention private investors in their thousands, fallen so compreh

Book excerpt: The collapse of the dot-com bubble has had profound impact not only on investors who lost trillions but also on the thousands of workers who lost their jobs as their companies disappeared. It was one of the factors that triggered the recession of 2001 from which we have yet to fully recover.This book is about understanding the dot-com bubble as well as the subsequent recovery of Internet-related businesses that appears to have started in 2003. Section 1, the Prologue, provides an overview of what happened and why it happened. Section 2, Perspectives, is a chronological compilation of columns written by Tapan Munroe for the Contra Costa Times (a Knight Ridder newspaper) between June 1999 and March 2004 tracing the anatomy of the rise and fall of Internet-related businesses. Section 3, Epilogue, has two chapters, Lessons Learned and Resurgence. The former summarizes the lessons learned from the eighteen articles in section two. The latter deals with the revival of the dot-com industry as web-savvy businesses show the way to greater productivity and sustainable profitability.
