Very powerful slide – comparing the number of employees with the Alexa traffic rank of the respective companies.
Alexa traffic rank vs. number of employees
Originally composed by Craig Newmark the founder of craigslist craigslist CEO, Jim Buckmasterand and shown on the Google Zeitgeist conference. Adopted by Tim O’Reilly and shown during the keynote of 2006 web2.0 conference.
Perfectly illustrating the immense potential of sites and companies leveraging this “gold vein” of sheer infinite resources.

Hey,thanks! but that slide’s from my CEO, Jim Buckmaster, who really runs craigslist. (I do full time customer service.)
Thanks!

Hey Craig,
Thanks for letting me know – updated in the post. It is most amazing to see this very simple but yet most powerful slide. Although obviously it very much simplyfies and hence not matches all the cases companies in the same way. But its a great hook to get audience attention and make a point.
Cheers
