Craig is dizzy again...

MORE: Chicago Tribune via freep.com:"Four Chicago-area men have been charged with running an Internet-based prostitution ring that employed girls as young as 15, the Chicago Tribune reported Saturday.

Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart said Friday that the arrests came after a three-month investigation in which authorities monitored advertisements in the erotic services section of Craigslist.

The ring operated in Illinois and Indiana and involved at least 11 women, some of whom were high school freshmen and sophomores, he said."
...
looks like the "erotic services" thing has blown up in craigslist's face! (day after day after day there are more problems, more arrests, more bad publicity...) and... what does Craig post on his blog?

Delia

P.S. is he a bone fide idiot or is he just very good at pretending?

Thanks, Google! :)

(looks like they got that comment re: "craigslist criticism" on Craig's blog much higher on the list of top hits, as I think it should be.... -- it's currently lower than only two hits: my blog, and a link on The New York Time site Eileen helped with...)

Delia

P.S. and no, I haven't done anything to cause that... (aside from mentioning it on this blog)

P.P.S. looks like yahoo kept the old, flawed, order... D.

comic relief: craigslist search mentioned next to Google search...

that *is* funny!

Delia

P.S. craigslist search has been kept at rudimentary level apparently to "save" money (people have been begging for an upgrade forever...) -- I suppose it all adds up if your goal is to end up with huge net profits and craigslist appears to have done a spectacular job at that since switching to for profit in 1999...

P.P.S. the hefty cash cow must be obese by now... D.

the appearent oddities of search engine hit rankings...

Technorati is not the only one that baffles me... I love Google! (web search) and they appear to love me back... (with some lapses, they have been giving my blog as the top hit for "craigslist criticism" for a long long time...; they even used it to promote Blogger) but that doesn't mean I understand it! for instance, I would have never guessed that a comment re: "craigslist criticism" on Craig's blog would only make the bottom of the first page of hits...

Delia

P.S. about the same for yahoo... D.

Craig starts responding to comments on his blog...

... why now? he "just figured out" his typekey account... (or so his story goes... -- a "hard-core programmer" who takes months to figure out something as basic as an account? ) D.

(craigsblog) the comments are getting better and better :)...
