Craig is a hardcore Java and Web programmer who started Craigslist in early 1995 to let people know about cool and useful events in San Francisco. It rapidly grew, creating a large community of people who wonder if there really is someone named Craig behind it.
Craig Newmark spent the past year expanding his Web site to serve New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Seattle and more. He is dating around, but "mostly looking for love in all the wrong places." His advice for Women.com's 2001 bachelors: "Apply shampoo, lather, rinse, repeat."
