Craig Newmark says that craigslist works because people are good, and he has stuck to this point of view without wavering. Whether you accept it as true will depend on your standard of goodness.
For some reason this also brought up thoughts of Google’s moto - ‘Don’t Be Evil’
Both Google and Craigslist are based on powerful principles that are echoed in the core of their aesthetic design.
I know this goes against the design philosophy I quoted earlier from Matt Mullenwag (Design like Nascar) but it is interesting to see their respective competitors continue to ‘relaunch’ site designs while these two companies stay the course.
Howard Roark would be proud.
