The Craig Behind Craigslist And Craigconnects On His Influences And His Passions

Craig Newmark did not set out to be among the most influential people in Silicon Valley when he moved to San Francisco in 1993. After spending 17 years at IBM, he moved west to take a job at Charles Schwab. It was roughly around that time that he began to grasp the power of the Internet to connect people. In 1995, he started Craigslist as a distribution list to friends to share information about social events.
