Business 2.0 has a good article titled A startup’s best friend? Failure. on how to succeed by paying attention and responding to failure. Dogster, Google, and Riya (Like.com) are profiled. I got plenty of chuckles after I made an investment in Dogster. I look forward to the day when I can say “look who’s barking now.”

Yep - a great article. thanks
Thanks for letting us know about this article. Was a good read. Dogster is one of those sites that have a quirky and fun goal/feel to them. I have met Ted and he is a very nice guy, I wish them well.
Jeremy Liew also wrote an interesting blog post about failure here... http://lsvp.wordpress.com/2007/01/24/failure-is-an-option/
I met with Ted during the early days - when we were both starting out. Although we are in similar space, he was very helpful.
Dogster's success is well deserved.
making mistakes is a key way of learning - it's called feedback.
