] | null | null | no_error | Questions for Jim Buckmaster, CEO, Craigslist | null | By Matthew Boyle, Fortune writer | (Fortune Magazine) -- With 450 sites in 50 countries, Craigslist is the undisputed leader in online classifieds, despite a stubbornly anticapitalist culture. Fortune's Matthew Boyle took your questions to Buckmaster, 44, to learn what's happening at the Web site that's rocked the ad world and transformed the way we clean our garage. When and what was your first transaction on Craigslist? --Elma Kim, Los Angeles Buckmaster posted his resume on the site eight years ago. Now he's CEO.
Questions for... Martha Stewart
Author, TV host, and the founder of Martha Stewart Omnimedia answers your questions in the Dec. 8 issue of Fortune.Now's your chance to ask Stewart about launching your own company, how the market turmoil has impacted her empire, and what�s next for the titan of homemaking?
Previous Q&As
A friend told me about Craigslist. In late 1999, I put my r�sum� up on it, and founder Craig Newmark saw it and invited me in for an interview. I was hired as lead programmer. What advice would you give to a budding web entrepreneur? --Vish Ravishankhar, Chandler, Ariz. Web ventures are best run by techies. Keep things simple. Be patient. Focus on user feedback. Don't take outside money if you can do without it. How have you overcome any adversities that have been thrown at you during your career? --Jason Hopkins, Newark, Ohio I kept quitting in the face of adversity until I found something I loved doing, after which point all obstacles became surmountable. I quit medical school and a few jobs. If you're in a job you don't like, almost anything can seem insurmountable. Conversely, if you are in a job you like, obstacles start to look small. At Craigslist it feels like we're doing something positive for society. If you didn't work at Craigslist, what else would you be doing careerwise? --Joe Talarico, Lewiston, N.Y.I would be building a platform for user-generated governance (UGG) as a replacement for our flailing "dot-gov" sector. It's utterly divorced from serving the public. Or maybe I'd take a year off and go backpacking. At some point, doesn't Craigslist have to be more aggressive about scaling revenues? I understand you're small, nimble and profitable, but your business is pretty easily duplicated. Or do you think you can sustain your business based on user loyalty? --Aaron Letscher, New York City Financial metrics aren't something we focus on; they're a pleasant side effect if we manage to do a good job by our users. We track page views to measure the usage of the site. We also look at the number of thank-you notes from users who have found their entire lives on our site - from spouse to house, job, furnishings, cat, dog, friends and a social life. Do you plan to make Craigslist a public company? --Nixon Correia, Newton, Mass. No. It seems like a lot more trouble than it's worth. We're having too much fun to exit, but we will go quietly when the nanobots are ready to assume control. What is your attitude toward the seedier side of Craigslist - the often explicit personal ads seeking casual sex? Do you see this as an integral part of the business, or as an embarrassment? --Andrew Clark, New York City Craigslist users are pretty sophisticated and don't tend to view sexual relations between consenting adults as seedy, at least compared to what goes on in the White House and Congress or the boardrooms of many large corporations. Are there any plans to expand the real estate section of Craigslist and target the broker listings now on Multiple Listing Systems (MLS)? --Matthew Shields, ScottsdaleWe don't go out of our way to target new businesses; our hands are full right now handling user requests. We'll add more cities soon, as there are lots of requests coming in. We are also working on creating local language pages. And although our hope is to always remain a small company, we are actively looking for more good techies. How do you generate excitement and awareness about Craigslist in a city like Stockholm, where most people don't know about it? --Jacqueline Fabius, StockholmWe've relied exclusively on word of mouth. I hear, though, that Stockholm is very nice; perhaps I should go and drum up interest personally. What part of Craigslist gets the highest traffic? Does it change depending on the city? --Yury Pishchik, Boston Our "for sale" section has the highest traffic, followed by housing, jobs and personals. Our busiest cities are San Francisco, New York, L.A. and Seattle. Our New Orleans site took off after Katrina. Usage went up by 10,000 percent overnight. Initially the site was used to find missing persons. Then ride sharing. And later thousands of offers of employment came in from all over the U.S. to help the victims. Where do you see Craigslist in five or ten years? --Nishi Viswanathan, Austin I would expect lots more of the same, plus incremental improvements based on user requests. In ten years we may be approaching the Singularity [a state when machines become smarter than humans], in which case all bets are off. Fortune's Matthew Boyle AsksAfter focusing its online classified efforts outside the U.S. for the past few years, eBay just launched a U.S. version of its Kijiji service, which is very much like Craigslist. How will you handle this new competition?We operate with a public-service mentality such that we don't think in terms of competition. That really saves me a lot of grief. During the dot-com boom, we were derided for our noncompetitive approach, but of the hundreds of Web companies founded between 1995 and 2000, we're one of only a handful that survived and prospered.Doesn't eBay's 25 percent equity stake in Craigslist pose a potential conflict?Those issues are obviously a concern, but our first instinct is to trust eBay (Charts, Fortune 500) to take the high road.What are the most bizarre objects or services sold on the site?That depends on what you find bizarre, but husband-for-hire - the person meant everything but the sex - pet astrology and spare parts for a time machine struck me as odd. There are lots of funny ones in our best-of section on the Web site.What other Silicon Valley startups interest you, and why?Tesla Motors. Electric cars seem like a great way to address our energy woes, since we have so much excess overnight generating capacity.Have you bought or sold anything on Craigslist lately?I recently bought a BlackBerry 7280, which is a discontinued model that has the lowest SAR [specific absorption rate, the rate at which radio-frequency energy is absorbed by the body] of any cell phone.What interests or hobbies do you have outside work?Each year [my companion] Susan and I spend a week out of cell phone coverage with friends and an ostrich named Huey on an organic farm called Emandal on the Eel River in Mendocino County.On deck: Shelly Lazarus, CEO of ad giant Ogilvy & Mather, answers your questions. | 2024-11-08T00:35:29 | en | train |

On June 22, more than a month ago, they began rolling out "significant improvements" to the service. | http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/07/26/streamload-upgrade-goes-very-wrong-some-users-revolt/ | 1 | 0 | null | null | null | no_error | Streamload Upgrade Goes Very Wrong; Some Users Revolt | TechCrunch | 2007-07-26T07:55:14+00:00 | Michael Arrington |
San Diego based storage service Streamload is having a hellish summer.
On June 22, more than a month ago, they began rolling out “significant improvements” to the service. Users were told in a blog post that some files would become temporarily unaccessible and to expect downtime of up to two weeks. “Please rest asssured [sic] that we are doing everything possible to minimize these service interruptions” they said.
Much of what happened since then is unclear, but things clearly didn’t go according to plan. On July 1 Streamload said they were back online. On July 2 they noted some issues affecting some users. Skip to July 21: another blog post noting issues. On July 24 another update, and users are welcomed to the “speedy new MediaMax database and user interface.”
Overall the blog posts don’t signal that much chaos was going on behind the scenes, but it is clear that things were not going as well as the Streamload blog suggested. Many customers complained in the comments to those posts about file deletions, outages and lack of customer service response to their questions. At some point Streamload turned off comments and deleted all existing ones, presumably to downplay the problems.
At least one user-created blog has popped up that reprints the blog posts, adds commentary suggesting that Streamload is hiding the facts, and allows users to comment. Some of the commenters are outraged at the alleged cover up:
Mediamax isn’t just hopelessly incompetent, its corrupt and borderline evil! It’s corrupt because its still taking money for a service that doesnt work. And its evil because it must be aware of the incredible stress this is causing to so many people but its doing nothing to ease that pain. Just a few honest words of understanding on their blog would help, instead of the BS and lies they are posting.
I’ve emailed Streamload for a response to get their side of things. I’ll update this post when I have more facts.
Disclosure: I am not an independent observer of these events – I am an investor and on the board of directors of Omnidrive, which is also in the online storage space and can be considered a competitor to Streamload. If people notice other coverage of this, please leave a comment and I’ll link to it here. Until now I have only heard excellent things about the Streamload service, and I am anxious to hear their side of things.
Update: Streamload responds via email:
Hi Michael,
We appreciate your willingness to hear Streamload’s feedback. Yes, Streamload has had a tough several weeks due to two serious issues on our part.
On June 15, Streamload had a major storage problem that has caused many of our customer files to become inaccessible. They are not gone forever, but it is taking a very long time to recover all the data because of the extraordinary amount of data stored. With our current recovery infrastructure, we can “only” recover about 10 terabytes per day, but we are adding more hardware to speed this process.
Combined with that, we had another project underway to move our entire infrastructure to a new datacenter with the goal of making it more efficient and cost effective for customers. The move did not go as planned since it took longer than we anticipated and there was much more customer impact than originally estimated.
With the new data center, MediaMax is backed with an all new technical infrastructure, which is fully redundant, has more capacity, and is faster. This new transition, as challenging as it has been, will ultimately allow us to provide better service and support more customers in the future.
On that note, your reader comments are right – a better job should have been done to communicate with affected customers. Though we may not have communicated quickly or with much detail, we are attempting to actively address concerns, and are exploring ways to address this issue and improve our customer service.
Having said that, three weeks ago I took over as CEO again and will be able to monitor the service and customer needs more closely and hopefully bring back the customer satisfaction that was built since I started the company 9 years ago.
-Steve Iverson

My boss was about to tape a page from another coworker's cat calendar to her office door. I told her about Cheezburger and the other lolcats/lolpets and we got the idea to each adopt a cat (or rabbit or guinea pig) and hang it on our office doors and guess what?

Is Open Source the child of selfless invention or the byproduct of relaxation?
Until recent, I had drawn the mental image that the Open Source community predominately consisted of idealistic college students and bored adult developers. If I would have voiced this opinion I am sure that the Slashdot crowd would have descended on me. Chris Anderson knows about this backlash when he declared Open Source as the output of bored developer ‘spare-cycles’.
An article on using your craft to relax opened my eyes that it may be the case that the Open Source community is selflessly using their craft as a form of relaxation. Reasons we need relaxation comes in many forms, but the way developers relax comes in many forms as well.
Passionate Learning
A lot of developers have the personality trait that the act of learning brings them pleasure, and as a result they become passionately curious. There are many reasons why to quest for knowledge outside of the normal working hours:
Bored but have the need to be constantly productive
Unchallenged from our jobs and want to push ourselves
Inability to learn during working hours
Curious about technologies that would never be applicable to our careers
Open Source is a supportive community where people can selfishly learn while selflessly building something of use. If only pharmaceutical companies had the same passion we might have a cure for cancer…
Venting Frustration
Some software projects can get so dark and twisted from their original design that it relentlessly frustrates the development team. Alternatively, bad management or out-of-date development practices may have thrown you into a state of frustration. When developing on your own time, nobody is your boss and like Burger King – you can have it your way.
Once upon a time, I was on a project that went horribly wrong. Out of pure frustration, I kept two versions of the source code. The first version was the official business copy, designed by committee and regulated by an idiot. The second was a personal copy that I worked on at night. The sole reason for working on the second copy was to vent my anger at the inevitable failure of the project. I needed to know that it was bad management responsible for the project failure and not my ability to code the requirements.
Like a phoenix, sometimes beauty arises out of flame and ash.
Single Point Meditation
In a multitasking world, one of my favorite relaxation exercises is single point meditation. Like watching a campfire burn, nothing exists but what is currently presented to your eyes. Voiding your mind of all incoming things and concentrating on a single item is a lot like being in the ‘developer zone’ which can be impossible when at the office.
Sense of Play
During the day, we might be forced to develop programs we might not be interested in. At night, the exact same activity in a different context can become a fun hobby. Need I say more?
Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play. -Heraclitus
Open Source at its core is about productive relaxation, and truly gifted are those that can simultaneously relax and make the world a better place.

37,042 | bkrausz | 2007-07-27T07:50:10 | How much is your time at college worth? | I've recently been asked by a large (massive) company to give them an hourly rate to do software engineering during college as a consultant. I've only ever quoted small companies with little jobs before, never dealing with the big fish. My question to YC is how much you would charge? All the standard formulas don't apply since I have no expenses other than time here. | 1 | 1 | [

The size of the round has not been disclosed (yet), but additional investors include Charles River Ventures, Marc Andreessen, Dick Costolo, Ron Conway, and Naval Ravikant.
The service, which has around 300,000 users, has grown rapidly in recent months. Pownce, Kyte and others are competitors.
See Duncan Riley’s interview with founder Biz Stone here.
Update: It sounds like the company had a strong talk with investors about not disclosing the size of the round or any other particulars. No one’s talking, other than to narrow it down to betwen $1 – $5 million.
