My Chat with Craigslist’s Jim Buckmaster
After getting to enjoy most of mesh yesterday (I only had to moderate one panel), I’ll be in the hot-seat this morning when I do a keynote chat with Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster. In so many ways, Craigslist is a fascinating phenomenon: a business plan that could easily generate tens of millions of additional dollars in revenue if the management team gave the green light; a service that is mostly free to use; a no-frills Web site that’s just so un-Web 2.0 (or maybe it is because there’s lot of white); and a brand that has become one of the world’s most popular with little (or no) investment in marketing. It should be a really interesting conversation. For a deep look at Craigslist, check out this story that appeared in the Wall Street Journal last year.

fyi, Craigslist in Canada is not the largest online classified website (as measure by online traffic). Kijiji.ca is.

That photo is NOTHING like Jim Buckmaster.
