Abso - fricken - lutely,

Except craigslist almost is a charity... for it's users.

It's the multi-million dollar business that provides services valued at billions of dollars, previously.

Craiglist indeed barely changes but as one of the largest sites on planet that gives you stuff with barely any bullsht, there's little reason to pine-away for that innovation, if you're someone using the site*.

If coolpads or whatever wanted to just volunteer their Ajax to craiglist and get a share of milk-and-cookies craiglist's thirty employees live on, cool. Otherwise, wipe those dollar signs out of your eyes. Go make the big bucks doing SAP consulting or something.




You do realize that Craigslist makes >100 million/year, right?
