Why did they let them in in the first place? Because they thought it would make them more money."I thought it was because a former Craigslist director sold his stake to Ebay, rather than Craigslist deciding Ebay might be a nice investor.

Craigslist isnt some kind of laid back, we dont care if we make money, we dont care how much we are worth, kind of business. Its a business with lawyers and accountants.The PR people like to float that hippy image of Craigslist, but the company is worth over a billion dollars for heavens sake! No company in SV or anywhere else for that matter is 'laid back' when they have such a valuation. These guys want Ebay out because they now have some remorse over the deal. Why did they let them in in the first place? Because they thought it would make them more money. Ebay is suffering generally and Craigslist is sticking it to them. Craigslist isnt some reluctant chiiled out hero in the current dotcom space. They are an aggressive, passionate web property that makes a profit.

To be honest, when I first heard about it I thought it was a joke.It wasn't!What you have here are two very different (but very successful) companies; each with their own corporate agenda.In my experience, this always causes conflict; as the differing 'corporate cultures' and egos pull in different directions.Great news for the Lawyers and us bloggers of course!Jim Connollywww.theideasblog.com Wed 14 May 2008 08:51:54 GMT+1
