Cory – I believe the currency of the internet is credibility and trust.

Why?

There is so much information out there, credibility & trust becomes king – it tells people what information is worth consuming.

Craigslist has built enormous credibility. Wordpress too. There are millions of people trust them.

Once you have enormous wealth in the internet currency, credibility & turst, it’s easy to translate that into the kind of currency that will put you on a beach worry-free!

Beth, my understanding is that an employee of craigslist sold their share to Ebay … not sure whether that person approach them or vice versa though.

Either way, it’s been an odd marriage, but don’t think craigslist wanted the “arranged” marriage.

If craigslist is uncomfortable with the situation then perhaps they shouldn’t have sold 25% of their company to ebay. Once you have shareholders the idea of maximizing profits becomes a responsibility, doesn’t it?
