The Law of Unintended Consequences . . . 0
. . . strikes again:
In Boston alone, Craigslist’s revenue from “adult’’ ad postings is anticipated to increase to $942,500 this year, from $160,000 in 2009, according to a consulting firm that tracks the classified ad website.
Frankly, I don’t see how Craigslist was to blame for the actions of a lone nutcase, but I guess it’s a convenient target.
Full Disclosure: I’ve used Craigslist once, to find new homes for my dogs before I moved. The effort was successful.
