Oh yeah… the only other revolutionary that didn’t sell out

While I was thinking about the Last.fms, the Bebos and the rest who sold out revolutionary business models to established big business there was one name that didn’t get mentioned: Craigslist. Though Stephen Downes was good enough to point that out in the comments…

That great undo-er of newspaper classified advertising has just added 120 new cities, making 570 conurbations in all that enjoy the benefits of Craiglist. Brighton & Hove, has a Craigslist, but I think we’re more of a Gumtree city…

  1. I agree craigslist don’t get the kudos they deserve. In a very literal sense though they did sell out to ebay, who interestingly own gumtree outright…

    All very confusing
