Save Padmapper: Craigslist is wrong to shut them down. An open letter to Craig
Craigslist isn't a charity. It is sad that they don't innovate, but it's not the responsibility of the incumbents to make the job of their would-be replacements easier. In fact that's bad business.<p>It would be nice if Craigslist created a platform that others could build on. Something like Facebook. <a href="http://apps.craigslist.org/mapper" rel="nofollow">http://apps.craigslist.org/mapper</a>. I bet people would build things on their data <i>for free</i> even without any way of making money off it.
