Craig's reaction to Listpic
The article “Should Web Giants Let Startups Use the Information They Have About You” was interesting to me because it involved my Uncle’s website Craigslist. The event that was described in this article was a man named Ryan Sit, created a website called Listpic. Through this website, images from my Uncle’s website, Craigslist were taken and put on the Listpic website in a simpler format. However, this violated copyright terms and Craigslist terms of use. Curious about what my Uncle felt about Ryan Sit and Listpic, I asked my Uncle what his reaction was to Ryan Sit and his Listpic site. He said that Listpic was a good idea for a website. However, “it really sucked up server resources.” I was surprised that my Uncle didn’t say anything negatively about Sit or Listpic. If I was my Uncle, my reaction would have been that I didn’t like Sit and was pissed off when he created Listpic.
