According to Wikipedia, Craigslist has 28 employees and is a private,
for-profit venture, although the principals have publicly stated that
their primary goal is not to maximize profit (which has caused trouble
with minority shareholder eBay).  They charge for job ads in certain
cities (including Boston) and apartment-broker ads in New York.

No wonder it's so difficult for newspapers to compete against them!
