Craigslist’s corporate structure is built around a psychology principle called Dunbar’s number
Craigslist organizer Craig Newmark has been extremely direct throughout the years in talking about his absence of social abilities, hierarchical inclination, and business astuteness. Partially, that is the reason he chose to keep his Craigslist association little, referring to an idea in brain research known as Dunbar’s number, which proposes that there’s an intellectual cutoff to the number of individuals with whom an individual can keep up with stable social connections.
English anthropologist Robin Dunbar recommended that this number is close to 150, thus Newmark and CEO Jim Buckmaster have tried to restrict the size of Craigslist to permit him and different representatives to have solid working connections. The current organization staff includes only 50 workers.

Weird Al and Ray Manzarek teamed up to record a song about the site
Assuming you haven’t watched “Strange Al” Yankovic in quite a while, you may have missed his 2009 melody “Craigslist.” Set against a melodic scenery that is vigorously propelled by The Doors (and with consoles played by Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek himself), Weird Al sings about purchasing and selling arranged particulars on the ordered site while diverting the persona of Jim Morrison.
