Craigslist Comes To BendI knew I'd see the day, but not this soon. Bendstuff, who I mentioned before, has already shut down. But if I were local media who rely on classified ad dollars, I'd be very afraid right now. Oh, and apparently I'm not on the ball as some locals, as Shannon, Jon, Tim, and Dave have already pointed it out on their blogs. I sleep in one morning, and get totally scooped...jeez...

This is perfect! Count me in for a couple of bucks too. Jake said on 06/20/06 @ 09:26 AM: Cheryl, Dave, check your email :-) Dave Goodman said on 06/20/06 @ 09:52 AM: I have two goals in this experiment: 1) Inform readers that bend.craigslist.org is now available, and 2) Test the Bulletin's willingness to publish same Journalism is about informing, and penetrating the veil of deception. If we're to do this, which I'm in favor of, I'd like to do it aboveboard, using the full URL, with the Bulletin's understanding of what we're advertising. If they publish it, then we've accomplished goals #1 and #2, and the Bulletin demonstrates its virtuous pursuit of journalism over profit. If they do not publish it, then the Bulletin exposes a priority of greed over journalism, and we could probably get publicity from that in other media, with goal #1 as a (free!) side-effect, and goal #2 is realized. I'd kick in up to $20 for this. :) Dave Goodman said on 06/20/06 @ 11:56 PM: KTVZ just aired a segment on the arrival and benefits of craigslist. :) Post a comment |
