...Buckmaster explains. As a result, the site runs 1 billion page views a month--as many as Amazon.com--with just 14 employees. Instead of doing market research to plot strategy, Newmark and Buckmaster rely on customer feedback, using it to drive every decision from what city in which to launch next to how to categorize short-term gigs separately from part-time jobs. The result? Without any advertising, Craigslist attracts as much traffic to its job listings as Monster.com...
...Exhibit A: The MPAA sued the company 321 Studios into bankruptcy last year for producing a piece of DVD-copying software called DVD X Copy. So what happened?

...While Latham says his "troops out" plan will go ahead if Labor wins the election, he did not mention it in his campaign-launch speech last week; instead, he focused on Labor's willingness to work with the U.S. But even if Bush is reelected, "provided Labor doesn't draw too hard a line," says Tow, "there would probably be extensive talks on how to finesse this."

Party strategists know that at this poll Tasmanian forests matter, not only because of the dogged campaign by conservationists that has won mass public support, but because a strong showing is predicted for the Greens, who have...
...political action group recently replenished its coffers with contributions totaling $3 million dollars, enabling it to launch a new television and mail campaign to attack Kerry’s war record yet again. One ad features the wives of two former POWs giving compelling accounts of the horrors endured by their husbands, followed by insinuations that Kerry bailed out of Vietnam when things got tough. According to the commercials, Kerry also “secretly met with enemy leaders,” “betrayed his fellow veterans” and “accused all Vietnam veterans...
