craiglist response

well the argument here is that yes craiglist is a type of community where people can come together for a number of different purposes, though recently craiglist has come under fire because i can recall some incidents in the news where women and i believe a young girl were selling inappropriate services on craiglist. i have to agree however, that craiglist is a community that for the most part eliminates the need for face to face contact and business realize that this is a community thus the many offers the owner has had just sell it. the owner maintains that by selling, the identity of craiglist would be eliminated because now you will have random ads on the site which would destroy the community.

I agree totally. Also I think that face to face interactions are needed at some point. Without this i thinks its hard to build a relationship no matter what kind of community it is.
