Craigslist meets the capitalists

The founder of Craigslist went to an internet media conference where most of the discussion was about “monetizing pageviews,” and made people scratch their heads because his super-successful website has never been about making money and he has no plans to move it in that direction. These wall street types had trouble grasping the concept of running a website for fun and as a pure service. The article from the NY Times about it is cute. Actually I think it’s really good that the NYT is pointing out that such sites still exist.
