I just read an article in The Costco Connection about Craig Newmark of craigslist.com. Newmark calls blogs the “printing press for everyman.”

He obviously has good insights on the revolutionary power of the internet for the sale and purchase of goods and services. He seems to have the obsession for customer service and the creativity that is common among entrepreneurs, but seems to lack the greed. Newmark has turned down lucrative offers to include banner ads. Instead of taking big money from venture capitalists, he has maintained control of his vision to provide a community service.
