a little more google searching brought me to Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist.
http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/20721.asp Very interesting story.
Today, there are Craigslists in some 550 cities in 50 countries and more than 12 billion page views a month, making it the eighth most-visited English-language site. He's been credited for almost single-handedly killing the newspaper industry by offering free online classifieds. But Craig Newmark's success boils down to what he calls "a pleasant accident."I've been searching Craigslist lately for a loveseat. I find it interesting to browse the ads just to see what people are selling & how outrageously priced they might have something priced. Craigslist is international by now, and in every US state. Chicago's craiglist has proven unsuccessful for me in selling some things. There's just too many people!
