(chefuturo.it)
This is the very inspirational story of a bootstrapped startup that went just so close to finishing all the money and the credit, but in the end on comment on TechCrunch made all the difference. Sorry that it is in Italian, but here there is the google translation: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chefuturo.it%2F2012%2F05%2Fla-vera-storia-di-andrea-vaccari-e-perche-zuckerberg-gli-ha-chiesto-lamicizia%2F&act=url

cool story!
imo includes the lesson that also in media there should be a proper, healthy competition.
