WebCritter is developing a newly redesigned classifieds website for the world to use, a formula for failure.

This is just crazy, these people think that craigslist "sucks" yet after reading their "survey" I find it to be bias, and pre-engineered to give many predictable answers, thus making this "survey" completely useless for actual case study. I love the fact that people complain about craigslist, then turn around and try to create their own "craigslist",. The "craigslist sucks, I can make a better one" attitude is one I love to hear, there will only be one craigslist. Good luck webcritter, if your "new classified website" is anything like your botched survey this should be fun to watch.
I will post some of the highlights, then a link to the actual survey. Enjoy!

"CRAIGSLIST QUESTIONAIR...because craigslist sucks 
Improve Craigslist 
WebCritter is developing a newly redesigned classifieds website for the world to use. The owner of WebCritter has been using craigslist for years and understands the needs of all of the users. 

Please forward this survey on to all of your friends and family that use craigslist. The more responses we get, the better we can make the website for you.. 


Please answer these questions honestly, and hopefully from all of your answers we can provide you with a better craigslist..


Are you fed up with the Spam on craigslist?

The spam postings are annoying
The spam emails i get are annoying
I am sick of all of the spam
I stopped using craigslist because of the spam
I have never had an issue with spam 
Would you be willing to pay a small fee for posting ads if it kept the spammers from using the site?

Yes i would
Yes, but i would not pay over $1 per ad
No i do not want to pay, i would rather keep dealing with the spammers"




Here is a link to the entire "survey", keep an eye out for this failure to appear in a city near you. By the way,
the reason I found out about this venture was due to webcritter posting to feedback forum asking why the
ad webcritter had posted to craigslist with the link to the "survey" had been flagged.......Ironic.
