Agreed, there's nothing lucky about the success of Craigslist. It's amazing they've been able to be online and out compete for over a dozen years now.

There is definitely something lucky about Craigslist. There is an element of luck in everything and CL was the right product at the right time.

You could build a better product right now and it wouldn't beat CL because the timing isn't right.

There's luck in every success. But that doesn't mean that success is attributable to luck.
