Craigslist, the classifieds site founded in 1995, remains widely used despite algorithmic competitors, according to recent coverage in Wired and other outlets. The platform reaches about 700 cities in 70 countries with roughly 560 million monthly visits, generating around $700 million annually while employing about 60 people.
