Craigslist, founded by Craig Newmark, is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Originally started as a small email bulletin in 1995 to share local events in San Francisco, it rapidly grew through word of mouth, eventually transforming into the online classifieds platform known today. Newmark shared this journey and details about the founding to combat misinformation. Despite its evolution, Craigslist has retained its simplistic 1990s aesthetic. Newmark's philanthropic efforts are now his primary focus, including a significant donation to cybersecurity.
Craigslist was born from a simple email list that grew out of a passion for sharing local events, evolving into a vital online community platform.
Craig Newmark emphasized that early records are sparse, making his recount of Craigslist's founding a personal recollection and an essential piece of internet history.
