“ Craig Newmark's Craig's List is estimated to have about $100,000,000 in revenue — with 30 employees. That's $3.3 million per employee, and even if it costs $70,000,000 to run it (which it can't), that's a profit-per-employee of $1,000,000. (Compare that with Amazon's profit-per-employee of approximately $30,000.) His model is so disruptive because he gives away all the ads except those for jobs, thereby turning what was once newspaper profits into what economists know as consumer surplus. ”
