eBay Acquires Minority Interest in craigslist

SAN FRANCISCO & SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2004--eBay, The World's Online Marketplace (Nasdaq:EBAY) (www.ebay.com), and craigslist, an online community featuring classifieds and forums (www.craigslist.org), announced today that eBay has acquired a preexisting minority ownership interest in craigslist of approximately 25%. The resulting relationship will allow eBay and craigslist to share expertise, resources, and creativity on behalf of online communities everywhere.

Craig shares his account of this about it on his blog.

I can imagine some people complaining about this, but I think this is might be a good direction for craigslist to go. Congrats to all involved. I look forward to seeing how these communities will interact and how eBay helps craigslist and vice versa.

CraigsList and eBay

CraigsList and eBay 08/13/2004 04:21 PM
eBay's bought 25% of CraigsList.org. Craig blogs about it here, and set up a forum to talk about it here. I love CraigsList both as a service that I use and as an example of what's so damn right with the Web. And I have complete faith in Craig Newmark as someone who has put years of labor on the line to build a place that benefits the community. I have slightly mixed feelings about eBay. It, too, is a service I use all the time, and they've innovated in some really useful ways, especially with regard to reputation systems....

eBay Buys One Quarter Of Craigslist

eBay Buys One Quarter Of Craigslist 08/13/2004 12:43 PM
We had just been mentioning the ridiculous notion that Craigsl ist might want to go public, and suddenly... they've sold one-quarter of the company to eBay. That was fairly unexpected, because from everything that had been said, they didn't need much in the form of additional working capital. The article discussing the deal points out that both companies are built up around loyal communities, but I'm not sure the two communities are all that similar (even when they overlap). In fact, it's not surprising that some folks on Craigslist seem unhappy with the deal (though others think it's wonderful). Craig, himself, has an interesting explanation of the deal, which suggests they didn't really need the working capital, but through a set of somewhat random events, the offer came about and made sense. Should be interesting to see what comes next.

Great NYT correction. This is why I like the term "world majority":

An article last Wednesday about South Africa's wine industry referred incorrectly to Thabani Cellars, a winery there. It is not minority-owned. (As a black man, the owner, Jabulani Ntshangase, belongs to the country's majority.)
