It's unfair to take a particular moment in time, slice it, and pass judgement on that particular slice. Yet that's our precise function, as chroniclers of news, and our role in the startup community. Like many others, I read the news this week that Vegas-based ecommerce site
Ecomom will be shutting down. As I read the story, I remembered interviewing the hopeful CEO
Jody Sherman for
his original funding post on TechCrunch. "I hope to one day be as big as Zappos,” he said at the time. Confirmation that he died of a
self-inflicted gunshot wound came on the same day as his birthday, and on the same day I received the saddest Skype notification ever (above) - that Jody was "offline" on that day.
