dot-bomb

Definition: An Internet company that has failed.

Example: 1) A lot of my friends worked at dot-bombs, and now they're looking
 for new jobs.
         2) The tech sector is still suffering from dot-bomb blues.

Etymology: 'Dot-bomb' is a play on 'dot-com', a general name for Internet co
mpanies. The 'dot' refers to the typical Internet URL or address -- for exam
ple, xyz.com. When something 'bombs', it fails in a spectacular way.
