Tim O'Reilly interviewed Jim Buckmaster (ceo, craigslist) about craigslist. Jim pointed out the craigslist is starting to charge a samll fee for some real estate listings. However, this was at the users request to cut down on spam and repeated listings. Tim asked him if he felt guilty sucking so much revenue out of newspapers? His answer: "No, they still make a profit." Tim asked about future plans. Jim stated they don't need to do something new, they just need to do a lot more of what the users ask for.An interesting blog about craigslist is on the O'Reilly radar here.
