Description

Is it possible to start a wildly successful company by luck? It is according to Craig Newmark.

As you can probably guess by the name, Craig is the founder of Craigslist, the ultra-popular classifieds website that millions of people have been using for decades to help solve just about any kind of need you could possibly imagine.

But that wasn't the goal behind launching Craigslist. Instead, Craigslist was started as a simple email list to share what was happening in the Bay Area. How did it become a household name and a site for anyone and everyone to buy/sell/trade whatever they wanted? Find out on this episode of Web Masters.
