I think I fixed it. The default is 100 connections to the database and I changed it to 250 and rebooted the server. Seems to be doing very well since I did that (knock on Pergo)
their revenue is generated from charging for apt. listings in NYC and a few other cities, as well as some job listings.
if the above info is at all innacurate, feel free to correct, but that is what I recall from a profile on Craig i saw about a year ago.
craig has gotten offers in the hundreds of millions for the site, but turns them all down.
They make all their money with want ads. Everything else is free.
Doesn't dude run Craigslist with only a handful of employees? One of the dudes jumped ship and sold his shares to Ebay against the better wishes of the other share holders. They're all hippies holding out against corporate bucks but there wasn't anything they could do. I think Ebay respects the owners and happily collects it's dividend check without butting their nose in Craigs business.
