New York Magazine has a story titled "The Rise of Craigslist and How It's Killing Your Newspaper" describing some of the history behind the makings of Craigslist.org and some insight into its creator Craig Newmark. It's an interesting piece and a good read for anyone that wants to understand more about the site and the motivations that lead to its creation back in 1995.

The piece also hints at Craig's future endeavors in the area of citizen journalism. Should be interesting to see what he comes out with, or more importantly what the world does with what he comes out with.
