<p style="padding-left: 60px;">In less than six months of publication, Culture 11 burned through a
stack of start-up capital rumored to be north of $1 million. Kuo hired
a staff of young writers and ensconced them in a waterfront office in
Alexandria, Virginia. And with a few exceptions—like some “<a href="http://culture11.com/blogs/theconfabulum/2008/12/31/lots-of-flawed-arguments-about-gay-marriage/">conservative case for gay marriage</a>” thumbsuckers that drew approving linkage from Andrew Sullivan – they were ignored by the online world.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">“I never even heard of this Culture11 site until I read that it was gone,” said veteran conservative blogger <a href="http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/2009/03/why-culture11-failed.html">Dan Riehl</a>.
“If someone wants to know why it failed, extrapolate that out to other
bloggers and web surfers, that was it. Having never seen it, all I can
conclude is that it really must have sucked.”</p>
