Craig Newmark’s New Hit List
- burtonator 8y agoHe could start by not suing people using Craigslist to build cool apps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist_Inc._v._3Taps_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist_Inc._v._3Taps_Inc. It's ironic that he created a business making classified ads "free" but then sued when someone tried to do it to him...
- jzawodn 8y agoI think you overestimate his involvement in the day-to-day operations of the company he started. Actually, I know you do. :-) Craig's a good guy.
- bap 8y agolegit personal reference - if you don't know who Jeremy is already. ;)
- infecto 8y agoYour argument is invalid. He made classified ads free. Was he scrapping classified ads himself though?
- tunap 8y ago"My approach to philanthropy is to find good people doing good work, get them resources, and get out of the way." "Good" is obviously a relative term, and this PR piece fails to mention his continuing involvement in the cesspool of Craigslist. According to WikiP "Newmark remains active at Craigslist in customer service, dealing mostly with spammers and scammers." The site where 110 of 121 first page results are spammets & scammers in most categories. Could not care less what he is doing, what is concerning is what Dreg is NOT doing...
- josh_carterPDX 8y agoCraig does amazing work to support veterans. As someone who helps to run a non-profit aimed at getting more veterans to start tech companies he has been a supreme advocate and has put his money where his mouth is.
