I commiserate but that is life. It is their loss as well.
The thing to do is not to brood about it and go for the next one.

No, no, no. They just thought that someone else fitted better, that is all.

No, not true. Although it is a polite lie it is not always the case.
You came away from the interview feeling that you were in the running so 
you probably were. It is just unfortunate (for you) that someone else 
got the job. It may have been something trivial such as he lived two 
miles away.
When I was working at Motorola my boss told me that he wasn't going to 
hire someone because he had a copy of the daily mail in his pocket. Work 
that one out. o_O

Anyway don't despair and keep trying.
