Actually, Craig has a history of speaking personally with founders using CL data, acting nice, and then mysteriously shutting down their mechanism for getting data without replying. Even if they weren't trying to make money. http://techcrunch.com/2009/12/16/craigslist-yahoo-pipes/ http://techcrunch.com/2009/12/16/craigslist-yahoo-pipes/ Craigslist is broken. And successful. Those aren't mutually exclusive things. Newspapers are broken yet they'll do nearly $20 billion of dollars in revenue this year. They were broken and did peak revenue in 2005. Nokia was broken but had record profits two years ago. RIM was broken and did record profits last year. Craigslist will eventually lose. It's just going to take longer than any of us reasonably expect.
