Craig Newmark Costs Newspapers Revenue?

Not the Craig Newmark I know. He's too nice a guy to be deliberately costing newspapers in the SF Bay area in excess of $50M in employment ad revenues. (:=

But, according to a recent press release, Peter Zollman has a 57 page report that he wants to share with us for $250 titled "Competing with Craig: Strategies and tactics for battling Craigslist and its counterparts".

You may be a Craigslist fan, or not. But I've got to tell you that I have never met another entrepreneur who works as tirelessly as Craig Newmark at personally keeping his service in tip top shape.

I think Craig might sleep—but, I could be wrong.

2. Wow, wonder what could be in there for $250. I really don't think there's a secret weapon for those newspapers to use to fight back.

3. I have recently been introduced to craigslist and now I send people there all the time. I can't say that I think it's perfect but I think it's incredibly awesome and Craig gets kudos from me for, at the very least, taking part in an industry where they rob the little advertiser by charging ridiculous prices for small ads, that aren't going to net us much anyway! Keep it up, Craig!
