When traveling to Houston last week to visit a client I picked up a copy of Wired magazine.
They kind-of trash Craig Newmark of Craig’s List. I met Craig – he’s a really nice guy – and he has done something very good. I would reccomend not judging him as you would a founder of a big business. He’s just a guy with a list – that got big.
I respect him. I wouldn’t run it the way he does – but I respect him. He’s true to his ideals.
And when we wanted to rent an RV a few weeks ago. Craig’s List was the best place to go.
Saved us a bundle. Very recommended.

My thoughts exactly – I wouldn’t run it the way he runs it, but you have to give him credit for sticking to his ideals.
I think it’s an amazing example of a simple idea that resonated in a huge way. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most effective.
