Raw Efficiency

Is there a more efficient system out there right now than Craigslist??  Every time I interact with it, I'm in awe.

  • It is spare...no bells and whistles, so it runs fast and runs simply.
  • It is local...it links me to people and goods in my community, unless I want to make a larger search
  • It is free...for almost all of its services, there is no charge at all.  It makes all of its money off of a few categories
  • It is intuitive...posting, responding, deleting a post...it all is obvious
  • It is connective...it allows buys and sellers, givers and receivers to connect
There are strategic and practical examples for us here.  It is worth reflection.
