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.

Forbes.com - Like Network Appliance, many top tech firms are snapping up Linux programmers, hoping to influence the way the operating system evolves. The trick is to hire programmers closest to Linux creator Linus Torvalds. Torvalds oversees Linux development, but he delegates pieces of the system to the 25 or so code maintainers,like Trond Myklebust at NetApp.Maintainers in turn break their projects into smaller pieces, overseen by submaintainers.

The other day when I wrote about Craigslist RSS feeds missing prices, Eric Scheide responded. He's the CTO at Craigslist. We exchanged a bit of e-mail after that and he said he's look into getting prices into the RSS feeds. Well, great news... They're fixed! Thanks so much to Eric and the folks at Craigslist. Their RSS feeds just got a whole lot more useful. Craigslist has always impressed me, but now it impresses the hell out of me. :-)...

Repor t: Craigslist costing newspapers millions: Interesting information on the phenomenon that is CraigsList . I wonder how long until the newspapers file a lawsuit for unfair competition?

Free community Web site Craigslist has cost San Francisco Bay Area newspapers up to $65 million in employment advertising revenue, according to a report released Monday.

Craigslist, which generates more than 1 billion page-views each month, also has cost the newspapers millions more in merchandise and real estate advertising, and has damaged other traditional classified advertising businesses, according to a report published by Classified Intelligence.
