Criticize what you can't control

It's only natural for U.S. newspapers to criticize when something invades their turf. Think of all the ad dollars they're not collecting.

The Internet is truly becoming the internal infrastructure of global sharing. The gatekeepers of information and communication are horrified of this global community they can't control.

Craigslist is great!

I have recently been using Craigslist to buy motorcycles in the St Louis area. I am very pleased with the site.  Call it crude if you like. I don't want or need a lot of distracting flash advertisements and pop -ups. It fits my needs and I think Craig deserves a huge thank you for keeping it the way it is.

For those who bitch about prostitution etc. You only find those posts if you look for them!

I am not surprised that Newspapers are back stabbing Craigslist. It offers a better service for free. That has got to be scary for the big guys.

Craigslist good for small business

I own a boutique resort in Palm Springs, CA called The Terra Cotta Inn and have advertised vacations on Craigslist. We have received real customers and spammers from those ads. However, the price is right and you just screen out the phonies.

I have also hired employees via Craigslist. I highly recommend it for small businesses.

Old Media Playing Catch Up

Ah...old media, playing catch up...

Garbage and Scum are a few words

Craigslist is riddled with garbage and sum. The majority of it's users are either sell prostitution related services or consuming them. It's filth and trash.

That is ridiculous banter, my friend ...

Craigslist has been around for quite some time. I have used it for selling furniture since I relocate quite a bit; for finding technology-based consulting work since I am a web technologist; for buying a washer, dryer, etc; and other 'legitimate' purposes. Guess what? I did not even know that they had anything resembling prostitution on Craigslist! Maybe you hang out in the personals section looking for a girlfriend/boyfriend but have been rather unfortunate in your search. Looks like the scammers picked your pocket, eh? Welcome to the internet, my friend!

You only find those posts if you look for them!

"Craigslist is riddled with garbage and sum. The majority of it's users are either sell prostitution related services or consuming them. It's filth and trash."

For those who bitch about prostitution etc. You only find those posts if you look for them! If you didn't have a dirty mind you wouldn't search for the naughty posts!

That's total nonsense

You must work for the major media

 

Craigslist fills a need and is useful to far more people that most major media.

Craigslist is full of scam ads ...

Sorry - I tried craigslist a couple of times and two out of three times the ad I inquired about turned out to be a scam -- that is what happens with "free" sites -- the scam artists flock to them.

I have never been scammed in almost 10 years!

What are you doing on Craigslist? I have been scammed a few times on the 'net since 1995 but I have never been scammed on Craigslist. The moral of the story is if you frequent a site on 3 occasions and get scammed, that doesn't warrant a hasty negative generalization about the site.

and so do a lot of good

and so do a lot of good honest business people and customers

I love

I love Craigslist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're HUGE, growing rapily by leaps and bounds!

ebay is jealous and pissed off because their kijijijoke is a total and complete failure, just as everything else they do these days is. Thank God they only have 25% of Craigslist!

eBay is jealous?

Huh? eBay isn't trashing Craigslist. Go back and re-read what was written and make sure you comprehend what was written and may be try re-posting. I believe it was written that the 'media' is trashing Craigslist. eBay sees the value of Craigslist or else they would not have taken a 25% interest in the product/company. eBay is an extremely successful corporation who also owns Paypal and a few other companies. I am not particular about PayPal but they are successful nonetheless. Come on, my friend. Stick to the facts and respond accordingly.
