The Tally on Dot-Com Deaths
The sun has set for nearly 130 Internet companies since January, leading to about 8,000 layoffs, according to
a new report.

Roughly 21 dot-coms closed down in the first half of November, nearly matching a monthly high of 22 in
October, according to a study from Internet research site Webmergers.com.

E-commerce sites, such as Furniture.com and Toysmart.com, accounted for 60 percent of the casualties.
Business-to-business companies accounted for about 20 percent of the total, with content companies such as
APBnews.com making up a quarter of that group.
