2005
Overview
Online classified advertising sites like Craigslist and its many Internet clones have produced new competition to a world traditionally dominated by newspapers. While some newspapers have benefited from the online trend -- Borrell reports some have more than doubled their online ads from 2001 to 2004 -- players like Craigslist have successfully grabbed business. In Miami alone, Craigslist reports 200,000 unduplicated visitors and 13 million page views in April, up from 92,000 unique visitors and 2.6 million page views in April 2004. One new advertiser in April was Hollywood motel owner Karin Valentine, who started to list her rooms and a rental home on the site after reading about it in The Devil Wears Prada. Craigslist has a grass-roots feel, with free-flowing forums, lists of local events, humorous \"best-of-Craigslist\" bulletin board and off-color personals. Its founder, Craig Newmark, ran the site in his spare time with other volunteers until its traffic overwhelmed them. Fees charged to employers in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York now provide Craigslist its income.
