Re: Craig Newmark - Principled Jerk
- kenmck 14y agoSome people seem to think that they're entitled to hitch a ride on the huge network effect craigslist has acquired through years of patient effort. The folks are shocked,shocked that craigslist isn't thrilled to let them do so.
- toomuchcoffee 14y agoWell there does seem to be a sort of a "tragedy of the commons" effect at play here. CL is sitting on a natural monopoly, and not only doesn't seem to quite know what do with it, but let's face it, has also become something of a slumlord (in certain segments). So people feel understandably cheesed and disappointed. But to say that they feel "entitled" to the spoils of another entrepreneur is a bit of a stretch.

- azat_co 14y agoHehe, I've also noticed this. I find it convenient to have share this, connect to FB, etc. it's called innovation for reason. It make people click and type less.
