Startups: A TechCrunch dream vs. the harsh reality

"Sickr, the social network for middle-aged people to discuss their illnesses, closed its doors today. They went live at 9:00 am yesterday, were profiled on TechCrunch by 9:01, and had 5,000,000 users by noon. Microsoft purchased the company at 4:00 pm, and by 9:00 this morning the service was renamed Windows Live Middle Aged Health Comparisons."
