Dharmesh Shah of OnStartUps.com has some interesting thoughts on Web 2.0 start-up stumbles and fumbles, on the news that Kiko is on the blocks, on eBay (bidding starts at $49K. No takers yet). He writes:

Read his five reflections on where Kiko may have gone wrong. (Some interesting forum discussion follows.)
