A team of thirty-or-so people manages a top 10 ranked English-speaking website in the world.</p> <p>I find it particularly interesting how craigslist is able to legitamitely compete (if not dominate) in such a broad range of categories. They do so using less features and “worse” interface design than their competition (Sidenote: Craigslist is case-and-point that “more features” is *not* a competitive advantage, so please remove your features chart from your competition slide in your pitch deck, thanks!).</p> <p>I put together this pic that visualizes how entrepreneurs have tried to carve out niches from craigslist, some more successful than others.  This is in no way a comprehensive list (feel free to add to it in the comments below), and in some places, one might argue that craigslist is getting whipped (<a href="http://homeaway.com" target="_blank">homeaway</a>? others?). Also, some companies may have been founded early enough that craigslist wasn’t an original competitor. Regardless, it’s amazing how craigslist’s broad, horizontal approach to creating marketplaces is successful overall.</p> <p><a href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/2b7463e0-cef1-4245-b884-a5a3d83f46d2/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" target="_blank"><img alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=2b7463e0-cef1-4245-b884-a5a3d83f46d2"/></a></p> </blockquote>http://solete.tumblr.com/post/21289853923http://solete.tumblr.com/post/21289853923Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:44:38 +0200<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2h9vqTfJ01qbtz54o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Hail storm in Madrid.</p>http://solete.tumblr.com/post/21088922533http://solete.tumblr.com/post/21088922533Sat, 14 Apr 2012 18:31:02 +0200MadridSpainHDRiPhone4S<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2319sGYJO1qbtz54o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Paella and sidra with amigos in the Sierra of Madrid #semanasanta #Spain #foodporn #yum #nam #paella #spain (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">Instagram</a> at Collado Mediano)</p>http://solete.tumblr.com/post/20619240177http://solete.tumblr.com/post/20619240177Sat, 07 Apr 2012 01:58:39 +0200foodpornspainnamsemanasantayumpaellaspain<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m18k0a82xW1qbtz54o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Sunset in the city.
