This post by Mark Evans caught my attention. Craigslist’s founder Craig Newmark did an interview and declared not to have any vision… At the same time, their CEO Jim Buckmaster unveiled:
1. The site is serving up seven billion pageviews a month from 200 servers
2. All 24 employees work at a Victorian house in San Francisco
3. The company has never had a tech quit in 12 years
4. Craigslist never holds meetings.
Seven BILLION ? Wow… I know a couple of websites that are trying to do the same, but 12 years is a long time and they have built this success year after year. Congratulations Craig.
