Will Craigslist be bought out or go public by the end of 2009?
Current forecast: 15% chance 
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 15% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
Craig Newmark created the concept behind Craigslist in 1995 as a simple
e-mail exchange service from his bedroom computer. Today, the site has
about 10 billion page views per month, about 35 million unique
visitors and serves more than 550 cities in 55 countries. As huge as
the site has become, it remains a model of modesty and community
service, remaining true to its motto of "Give people a break."
