Craiglist’s user-focus

July 30, 2007 by Adam DuVander

A couple good quotes from an interview with Craigslist’s CEO:

“Keep things simple. Be patient. Focus on user feedback.”

“Financial metrics aren’t something we focus on; they’re a pleasant side effect if we manage to do a good job by our users.”

That’s certainly a good path for them with their loyal user base. Could they really be a pattern most could follow?

For more of Craigslist shunning convention, check out some redesigns they’ll never use.
