Making a giant leap from the mere electronic mail newsletter in San Francisco, Craigslist has managed to be one of the web’s most visited and largest earning sites with a network spanning four hundred cities worldwide. The main specialty of this website is for users to be able to post free advertisements or classifieds at the comfort of their homes through their internet connection with no hassle at all.
In order to start, a prospective user must first fill in personal details and have his or her email address registered and verified. No personal details are shared among its communities ensuring users of their privacy. The only way that Craigslist employees intervene is when a report is filed against a user.
Navigation is also a breeze for everyone since its website is composed of very organized and clear outline. This concept is made well kept by CEO Jim Buckmaster along with the business smarts of Craig Newmark, its founder.
Revenues pour in from the fees for job and apartment listings which range from ten to seventy dollars. Rental ads also have a certain price and such profits are enough to run the twenty five Craigslist employees.
As of today, the people behind Craigslist are constantly finding ways to enhance its measures to know the validity of advertisement in efforts to prevent theft. This company also has plans to expand their information services which many dub as the explosion of journalism.
As any other business, this site is constantly on the move to eliminate many hoax advertisements posted by some users to lure innocent victims. Moreover, this ever expanding service of Craigslist somehow poses as a threat to local newspaper journalists who thrive in print media industry
