Zócalo Public Square

craigslist.org may be the only site where you can get anything you need for life cheap, or even for free. The free community classifieds service, launched as an email listserv for San Franciscans in 1995, helps over 50 million monthly users find homes, jobs, cars, stuff, spouses, friends and flings. The site's simple design and old age (in Internet company years) hasn't kept it from being at the pulse of online life. Founder Craig Newmark visited Zócalo to talk with moderator and L.A. Times editorial writer Jon Healey about how craigslist grew, and how internet access and participation can change the way our country runs.
