Jim Buckmaster Q&A: Why Craigslist banned listpic (Download Squad)

Jun 9th 2007 12:56PM JM Is throwing around a lot of made up statistics.

Each listpic pave view uses 20x the bandwidth? Well, since the craiglist layout sucks terribly, it is likely that a regular craigslist user has to view more than 20 pages to get useful results.

Irritatingly, many of the links on craiglist go to go to blank "this was removed by the community" pages.

They keep claiming that their design is efficient simplicity. Now it just stinks of arrogance.

Know what listpic should do? They should set up their own classifieds. Just provide the functionality craigslist users have been begging for and beat them at their own game. That would be a more satisfing outcome than craislist making minor updates to their site.
