Craigslist: not about making money

Permalinks to this entry: individual page or in monthly context. For more material from my journal, visit my home page or the archive.

It's pretty fun to read (via Kaliya) about how confused Wall Street analysts become when confronted by Jim Buckmaster, CEO of Craigslist:

UBS analyst Ben Schachter wanted to know how Craigslist plans to maximize revenue.

It doesn't, Mr. Buckmaster replied.

He went on to say that "no users have been requesting that we run text ads, so for us, that's the end of the story. If users start calling out for text ads, we'll listen."
