giving people want
Treat people like you want to be treated; live and let live; and also give the other person a break now and then.
arts cool list simple technology
I started a simple list of what I thought were cool events, arts and technology stuff.
confidence feels
This feels particularly good. It reaffirms the confidence I have in people.
bad ebay human list selling
This is a mistake. eBay bad and robotic, Craig's List human and good. And now on the way to selling out.
distracted prospect
During the bubble, we got distracted by the prospect of big bucks. Now it's much better balanced.
people provide run sites
Our sites are run by the people who use them. We just pretty much provide the infrastructure.
build good people protect work
I'd like to build a way for people doing good work to connect, to learn from each other, protect each other, and then I want to get out of their way.
reading political wire
I rely on Taegan Goddard's Political Wire for straight, fair political news, he gets right to the point. It's an eagerly anticipated part of my news reading.
crooks crime
Crooks are early adopters.
want normal moments
I want you to know, at this very moment, I am simulating normal human behavior.
passion dollars stuff
The stuff that works best is driven by passion rather than dollars.
important way
Getting out of the way is really important.
technology simple thinking
We think of Craigslist as a form of Social Media.We provide a simple service that is mostly free and we leave money in the community, instead of taking it away. Shared values, nothing fancy, treating people like we want to be treated. What works on the net works for people in general. The net has very little to do with technology, what matters is how people use the technology.
running talking people
My understanding from talking to a lot of people in the business has been that it used to be that a newspaper was considered a community service. Now they're being run as profit centers, and they're trying to get pretty high profit margins. As a result, investigative reporting has been seen as a problem.
