Craigslist Founder Won’t Sell Out

Criaglist.org owner, Craig Newmark does not want to sell off his popular community classified site any time soon. Even if it means billions of dollars are sitting on the table. Craig states, that he wants to stay true to the “not-solely-for profit-but-for community” model he has used with the site. “Who needs the money?” Craig Newmark said in an interview at the 06’Cross Media Week conference. “If you’re living comfortably, what’s the point of having more.” Newmark, remarks. It is stated that Criaglist gets more then four billion page views per month with just 22 employees.

            I think it is honorable that Newmark is not in it for the money. He states he knows individuals that have more than a billion dollars and there not the least bit happier because of it. Craiglist was the website that helped me find a place to live so I would be able to take summer courses at St. Rose. I think it is a very easy to use site and navigate. I would recommend the site to anyone looking for a place to live or to sell something due to the fact, to post is free unlike most sites.
