It seems like you are overvaluing the 'expertise' required to do what PadMapper did.

It makes perfect sense for Craigslist to want to do this entirely in-house, because the barrier to feature parity with a site like PadMapper isn't very high. And now PadMapper can't pull the rug out from under Craigslist and win over the userbase.

you are undervaluing the data you and I don't see.... Last time I check Craigslist isn't their only source....I understand why Craigslist did it but I still think Craigslist would have been better with padMapper...
