Interview with Craig Newmark, Founder of Craigslist.org by Guest Video Blogger Jovanna David

Jovanna David, Senior Account Executive at D S Simon Productions, talks with Craig about the danger of political lies in the age of information warfare, the importance of frankness from a politician, and his hopes for the future of the United States government.

Some of Craig’s VlogViews:

“Lets say a candidate just lies to people. It’s caught, discusses and disseminated pretty quickly and broadly. That’s probably a good thing for the country.”

“I think we are seeing some important stuff happening. We’re seeing possible reinvention of Washington from the grassroots. Not just words but actual occurrences. I think come January we will see more transparency in government. We will see a great reduction in criminal activity performed by the government.”

    Insightful. I especially liked the use of denim by the interviewer. Its a sharp contrast to the white background and really brings attention to her bold statements about life, liberty and the pursuit of pr and this crazy modern world.

    Congratulations on a great interviewer with an amazing CEO who has changed the face of internet. Ms. David great use of facial expressions and poignant deliveries.

    6 comments! Wow! That’s very telling and good. This type of involvement is positive and good for the blog.

    Good work Jovanna. You should have asked him about the house in Portland that was robbed and about his refusal to build in an ad model. Craigslist is one of the few sites out there with no ad model and a small staff that captures a large, VERY large traffic segment.

    Newmark is a pioneer and his approach has changed the face of many industries. Classifieds in major cities are essentially dead because of him and the features like “missed connections” has crossed over into the main stream on many occasions and have been embraced by conventional media.
