A catch phrase will go here soon.

Craigslist goes paid…

7/30/2004

For those of you not paying attention out there, Craigslist is going to go paid in about 24 hours. (well, it’s been paid in San Fran fro jobs for a while, but more a couple of more locations are going paid).

Sad in some ways, but exciting in others. Craigs and his crew fight all day long to make the site valuable and I’m psyched to see them make some money from it.

Of course, I’m also counting the days till someone does freecraigslist.com.

Update: As Craig himself says below, they are still 99.99% free just paid in NY, LA and SF jobs. Of course, that makes it 100% paid to me. :-)

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
