I don't know. The author states that CL is a bad site as if it is an accepted fact. He doesn't make a case for it he just starts with it as an axiom. Why does he assume this? Maybe it doesn't have enough flash, or css shadows or what?
CL is a great site that does exactly what people expect of it. You post classified ads in your local market and people get in touch with you. It is a web based classified ad and it works. When I want to buy something used locally and am not in a hurry I look through CL. Right now there is no other site organized to do this that works and is available in every market. Why should there be? CL works fine.
Because it's free it killed off newspaper classifieds but so what. Their bitter and angry competitors have to resort to dirty tricks like trying to get the police and FBI to investigate CL, which shows how desperate and out of ideas the competition is.
