Until now I thought Craigslist was nonprofit, but I guess not. Its "mission and history" page seems to support that:
"After being approached toward the end of '97 about running banner ads, he decided to make craigslist non-commercial. 'Some things should be about money, some shouldn't, and I make enough doing contract programming.' He was joined by other folks who proposed running face-to-face parties to make the sense of virtual community more physical, and who proposed creating a nonprofit foundation as part of craigslist."
Also, the author of that article didn't mention that craigslist also charges for rental and real estate listings posted by agents.
