I'm not sure I agree. I've heard the sentiment that the network effect is unbeatable a few times. I think people are so hungry to take over CL's market that if you had a good product it shouldn't be so hard to get it well publicized. ESPECIALLY if you beat them in how housing is done.
There's no need to take on the rants and raves service CL provides.
- stcredzero 18y agoWords placed in my mouth again. I don't think Craigslist is unbeatable. I just think that beating the network effect is going to be hard. Either have a lot of resources, or do a tactical concentration in one area. Apparently, there are lots of competitors to Craigslist overseas because they could avoid the network effect. There are also local market competitors.
