Dot Com Company

A generic, and increasingly derisive term, for any company that was created to take advantage of the Internet and its technologies. Most dot.com companies were founded in the late Nineties and most failed when the Federal Reserve restricted money in 2000. 

Most dot.com companies were based on inadequate business models. Some dot.com companies, like www.Amazon.com and www.ebay.com, have proved successful. While the recession of 2000-2002 eliminated most of the "pure play" dot.com companies, it didn't dampen the interest of conventional companies that are currently seeking to integrate Internet techniques with their existing business models to gain new customers or increased efficiencies
