You know,
craigslist.org
was actually invented by a dude name Craig - no joke. Craig Newmark is
his name and he took his little invention and made a boatload of cash.
Craigslist, if you live in a cave, is a website that took newspaper
classifieds and put them on the Internet. For free.
Oh, and Craig came from Metro Detroit, too. He blew into town and offered up some advice to Michigan start-ups.
Excerpt:
Q : There are a lot of up-start technology companies here in
Michigan, what kind of advice would you give to businesses that are
trying to grow?
A : Basically, just listen to your customers. And then, treat
people like you want to be treated, which means good customers service.
Again, it's easy to say, hard to follow through, but that kind of core
value is why we've been successful building this culture of trust. We
say we do well as a business by doing good.
