The founder of craigslist is obsessed with customer service.
By Craig Newmark
My title at craigslist is "customer service rep and founder," and my customer service role is at least a full-time gig. A CEO runs the actual organization now. I've always had difficulty articulating why I have this obsession. I work anywhere from two to ten hours a day, seven days a week, doing stuff like deleting "bait and switch" posts from New York apartment brokers, moderating discussion boards, and sharing community suggestions with the team. If you e-mail me about the site, I'll probably write back -- quickly, too.
