Craigslist was established as a for-profit in 1999, but it would be interesting to look into how non-profits are using blogging and social media. Thank you for the idea.

Because Craigslist is a social media tool in itself, the blogs associated with this organization only make its online platform stronger.

Craigslist is built upon the idea of “consumer as producer.” Through networks like Craigslist, Ebay, and Abe Books, we, as consumers, cut out the middle-man, or the corporate salesperson.

Craigslist thrives on the idealism of Web 2.0: customers can easily connect with other customers. As important as it is for customers to interact with the corporation itself, Web 2.0 has truly revolutionized the corporate world because customers no longer listen to the corporate voice, they listen to the opinions of other customers, made readily assessible via the web.

I agree that Craigslist is driven by community feedback, adding to its success. However, I think it’s equally important that Craigslist is run by the people for the people. The actual organization only categorizes the items, people and services for sale.

Just another quick couple of questions:

Is Craigslist a corporation or a non-profit? If it is a non-profit, will you do other case studies on non-profit organizations?
