@Chad_Hurley Honestly the Craigslist app sucks. @elonmusk needs to fix that too!

@elonmusk @EvaFoxU How about removing the hookers that use Twitter to advertise on your platform. The DOJ used FOSTA shut down Craigslist and ********

@cjcox2486 @TaylerUSA Instead of trolling them why not do some actual reporting? Is the security detail all volunteer? A private company? Or 1099? OR some DNC or NRA boondoggle from Craigslist? That guy on left has 2 back up clips of ammo and a bullet-proof vest. Expecting trouble?

@screentitty No, there's all kinds of jobs that are remote now. The problem is they're high demand. Idealist and Indeed have the most remote job postings but it's probably worth it to monitor craigslist also.

@Nones3None @great_job_laur Oh they'll do fine. I saw where they posted the backup servers for sale on craigslist which, considering they might have some good login info, would be a pretty sweet deal! Some quick thinking tucking them in their shirt like that!

@Chad_Hurley Uh, Is Craigslist still a thing? I thought it was shut down years ago for being a platform for scammers, prostitutes, drug dealers & human traffickers. I guess it doesn’t take many people to scan for criminal postings.

@ms_tostos Business can be registered in USA and it is welcome any business... employees are spreading into the world 🌎 what's your problem? Just because someone is not working for you? Craigslist are a restricted website for USA only. Why do you want to post on it from ITALY? Big liar!

@GuitarsinAZ @shadows_eth Did it though? I still buy and sell tickets on craigslist, but for a 15% fee it protects me from fraud and lets me transact from my computer... Its a valuable service. I really don't see the problem.

I just saw an analogy between Craigslist and their 50 employees and what Twitter needs. That comparison is so laughable that I started trying to figure out how much more complex an engineering problem Twitter is. Let's start easy... 1/9

@Steph_Sheridan_ @rob_sheridan Incredible! Reminds me of a Craigslist ad I saw in central PA over a decade ago. A brass instrument repair shop was closing up and unloading unusable broken inventory. Hundreds of instruments - but we didn't have the space. Great catch, can't wait to see what y'all do with these.

@netcapgirl I think Craigslist & Wikipedia could be decent examples of websites at huuuge scale that don’t seem to have the engineering nor server costs that FAANG expends

@Glitter71548943 @ripplebrain @Chad_Hurley The issue is the scalability and functions. As a system gets bigger there is not a linear but an exponential expansion of needed support to maintain it. On top of this Craigslist is a private company based on the code of a college senior's project that hasn't upgraded.

@SeanODowd15 @sweatystartup Craigslist's approach to their prostitution moderation problem was to get rid of their popular personals section entirely. They have no messaging service, minimal archives, no ads, no targeting, no algorithm, no moderation. Twitter is more than an order of magnitude more complex.

@girdley Buy a profitable business from someone retiring and structure no money down owner financing Go to Craigslist and search "retire" or a variation of it under businesses for sale Got laundromats that way that were already cash flowing

@eyalcinamon @SaveSJarrah @SandraTwang Do elaborate how this was staged, Eyal? A Palestinian actor bought IOF uniform, helmet & machine gun from Craigslist? Then he borrowed some barricades laying around in a thrift shop somewhere then cast his nieces to play the frightened children? Sit down u 🤡

@rajaooo @Breaking911 It’s true. I 100 % believe it’s part of a plan. It comes from the same exact place Covid was supposedly started. Wuhan. They are able to catch counterfeit purses in the mail but Fent can go from China to Mexico in to the US by the pounds daily.& sold on Craigslist w/no problem.

@BCBrownell A V60 Polestar is a tough spec to track down? Just happened to do a search today - it was only on Craigslist, within 1000 miles of LA I found exactly nothing.

I wanna get a car but I know younger girls tend to get ripped off when car shopping. The problem with being new to the states is that i dont know any guys here and everyone at work is a girl. Maybe I should post an ad on Craigslist to find an older guy to go car shopping with

@cwissing @drewcrawford I worked there for over four years. My point was not that this particular problem needs more than 50 people (tho in practice it’s multiple teams solving this and was more than 50), but that Twitter - even in this one aspect - is far more complex than Craigslist

@jabrils_ As for the site shutting down many SREs are saying it's going to happen, and then Elon riders who call Twitter a "simple website" think it will be fine because craigslist has 50 employees. I trust ex-employees and SRE more than fanboys/people who struggle to install chrome. 2/2

Remember when Craigslist was where you’d go for buying your motorcycles? Since they started charging per post it’s gone wayyyy down hill. Lol F that. Facebook market and offer up is the latest best deals

@michaelpatron0 You could prolly load up on a lot of those inexpensively via auctions and aggressive Craigslist. Warehousing and trucking it from the auctions only issue…imho

@awscloud @JeffBezos @Werner Cutting back on Amazon purchases because its getting like E-bay by letting outside sellers rip off customers... Next rung down will be Craigslist. Delivery is fantastic even if a little more expensive. Letting third party merchants systematicly rip people off, not so much.

@therealcliffyb Just a reminder that Craigslist has been running for 29 years and has a staff of just 50 people. Elon has actual working experience with web services. It'll be fine once the hysteria dies down

@hegotit1977 @KelseyRayHauge @OFranklin74 The issue with Denver is the fact that they extended him when he was still under contract for 2 more years. I know they didn’t want to overpay, especially with what Rodgers had gotten. But extending him before he even played a full season is like buying a Ferrari on Craigslist
