It's hard to come up with an adjective to describe Craigslist's decision to sue Red Trumpet other than "dumb." Nothing good will come of this lawsuit for a variety of reasons, and Craigslist is asking for trouble in filing it.

At the intersection of old media and social media, there's an emerging need to be more judicious in both the coverage and placement of news on both sides of the street, said Craigslist's founder Craig Newmark at Digital Media Conference West. Newmark, the unassuming media mogul whose site is among the most widely-visited on the Internet, discussed media's evolution, social media, and his own classifieds destination during a fireside chat-style keynote with Richard Hart, founder of The Next Step.

Kijiji, a free classified ads site attempting to rival Craigslist, is taking a cheap shot at Craigslist by publicizing the results of a one-sided survey. According to the survey, which was commissioned by eBay, “Three in four U.S. adults (75%) said they prefer to buy or sell items from a Web site that does not host erotic ads or adult services, and more than half (53%) of consumers said they would prefer that a family member use a site without such listings.”

eBay acquired a 28 percent share of the Craigslist online classified site in 2004, and then proceeded to launch its own competing classifieds site Kijiji in 2005.

We linguists readily employ a maxim whenever someone asks what verb could be used when at loss for words: “When in doubt, use ‘get’”.

It makes perfect sense that engines for searching all of it at the very same time will crop up.
