Hi, Mark!
Trench is not bad... I mean, back when he started his blog I was glad someone else was taking a critical view of craigslist and keeping it up but I don't find his analysis particularly insightful.
Here are a couple of people I found worth reading and quoting on the subject of craigslist prostitution: Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (the existence of craigslist's erotic services 'increases traffic and generates a number of users [to the site], which in turn enhances their revenue;" Steve Diamond, business law professor at Santa Clara University ("Newmark and Buckmaster are driven mostly by self-interest") and University of B.C. associate law Prof.Janine Benedet ("there is an argument they are really sort of pimping")
Take care!
Delia

in eBay and Craigslist: A fox in the henhouse on Mathew's comments
just to clarify: according to ebay's complaint, craigslist did subsequent dilutions of ebay's share of craigslist: the dilution to 25.01% came about in 2005 when employees were given stock options; further dilution to under 25% happened more recently and prompted ebay's law suit.

Thanks for clarifying that, Delia -- I meant to add that to the original post.

in eBay and Craigslist: A fox in the henhouse on Mathew's comments
little detail: ebay hasn't *always* claimed they got 28.4 % (which is closer to 30% 30% than 25%) , they initially claimed it was "approimatively 25%" (ebay press release at the time), which fit Craig's//craigslist's story. I find it intriguing that according to the complaint, Craig&Jim deluted craigslist to 25.01% (which definitely qualifies as "approximately 25%" as ebay initially said...) D.

why on earth aren't people pointing this out? I mean, The New York Times, Reuters, Associated Press... they must have noticed the difference, no? D.

in Twitter and inadequacy (er, the great friend divide) on Scobleizer
re: "Delia: I need to do a video so you can see just how many people I do have a relationship with online and just how they add value to my life on all these services."
OK, Robert -- I'd watch that. (I just hope I'll remember to check for it...)
Delia
P.S. take care! D.

Robert,
just how much time are you spending following half a thousand people around these services? do you really *know* these people at a meaningful level? (random pictures and one line twitter posts don't seem all that conducive to knowing people -- definitely not 500 of them...)
Delia
P.S. it all sounds rather silly to me... (sorry if I'm wrong) D.

in My new roommate: Craig Newmark on Scobleizer
Robert,
Tell me you are not as gullible as to believe Craig that he *needs* to room with you... (as in he couldn't have afforded to pay for his own room).

in Craiglist vs. craigslist blogger, round three on Mathew's comments
Matthew,
Caigslist shouldn't have any claim to the craigslistblog.org and should have lost all claims to the craigslist.org domain when they turned for profit, *way back*, (unfortunately the dot org domain remains unregulated so craigslist still gets away with redirecting traffic from craigslist.com to craigslist.org continuing to give the appearance that craigslist is still a non-profit).

in Craigslist: Your data belongs to you on Mathew's comments
Mathew,
that's vague and ambiguous: what's "generally" doing in that statement? re: "we *generally* don’t view information submitted by our users as data to be used for other purposes" (my emphasis); as usual, I think you are taken for a ride...
Delia
P.S. take care, anyways! D.

in Robots, crowds or editors? Yes. on Mathew's comments
Mathew, I think Craig is an *investor* in Daylife (saying that he "has helped financially" gives the wrong idea that he is a *donor* of some sort...) D.
