To Janet DeGeorge,

Of course Utah’s KSL Radio is not dead… it’s a mormon owned station!!! All of the church owned properties do very well.

Definitely use Angie’s List rather than Craigslist if you’re looking for local services. Here’s a good breakdown of the service.

Hi Steve!

I hope that after this little (apparently unintended) experiment, you will walk away with a much less naive notion of what craigslist is all about. I didn’t give your letter much importance when I first saw it (although your suggestions were not bad, your characterization of what craigslist is and does sounded way to groupie-like to take seriously). I *am* pleased to see that it has gained some traction (other articles and people, such as Jay Rosen, mention it) and I hope it will be a learning experience for a lot of people.

Delia

P.S. take care! D.

Apple & Oranges. Blogs vs. Pulp.
Why are you not complaining about your freebee newspapers instead of CL?

All advertising is all about audience targeting. If your attempting to target the trailer trash market CL will get you there. Get sharper. Know your target viewer.

Newspapers are about quality of service to their market. CL is not. But once newspapers start to outsource their services, that may longer be true. Ask Dell!
