I stood pretty strongly with Craigslist on the whole PadMapper thing, because it seemed like they were in the right.
On this, I don't really think so. I'm not sure why I feel that way - they only real difference is the side of the user equation, but it seems like this move is more aggressive stifling by Craigslist, whereas the former was more protective.
- DillonScott 14y agoWell that's certainly how we felt too. As time goes on it's becoming more obvious why they are getting so aggressive. I believe it's because they feel threatened. People are starting to compete with them like AirBnb etc and I think their backed into a corner. We literally told their lawyers that we would change anything they wanted about the feature so it would provide 100% benefit to Craigslist and our users instead of driving us traffic. That wasn't enough apparantely
- debacle 14y agoI suppose the only real alternative, then, would be compete with them on the network effect. Good luck.
