Did Guy Kawasaki build the stupidest idea ever? "Truemors"

October 2, 2007

As managing director of Garage Technology Ventures, Guy Kawasaki http://blog.guykawasaki.com/ funded all the really smart ideas he could find. None hit it big.

So earlier this year the guru of Silicon Valley start-ups decided to fund a really dumb idea that cost as little as possible.

In May, Kawasaki started Truemors http://truemors.com/, a site specializing in what it calls "true rumors" submitted by readers. It cost less than $13,000 to launch and was almost immediately dubbed "the worst site ever" by a leading European technology news site.
