I started a simple list of what I thought were cool events, arts and technology stuff.
I am committed to doing customer service for Craigslist for the rest of my life. The exit strategy is death.
There's no genius behind it. It's persistence and listening to people.
This is a mistake. eBay bad and robotic, Craig's List human and good. And now on the way to selling out.
I was just e-mailing a few friends about events that were useful or fun and now my friends of 20 or more have become a mailing list of 7,500 people and a virtual community of at least 10,000 people.
