Bill Nguyen is best known as the founder of Color, a much hyped then subsequently much lampooned photo app that failed rather conspicuously under the weight of its own PR, a la Cuil.<p>Based on the Wikipedia article, he apparently had a long track record of multiple impressive successes prior to Color, although none are nearly as well known.<p>Hence the parent&#x27;s argument that Bill Ngyuen&#x27;s life is an illustration of the true nature of the world: you can be successful 100 times, but if you fail once, it is only the failure that is remembered.
