Craigslist Bans Listpics

Craig Newmark said that Listpic has been banned from Craigslist because its mash-up technology was consuming too much of Craiglist’s bandwidth.

Listpic made it easy to browse through pictures that were attached in craigslist classified ads. Listpic was created by Ryan Sit.

Some users were upset because they said that they looked at craigslist more because of Listpics’ services.

Newmark also followed up that “one other major issue still under investigation, where we have yet to determine who’s responsible” is another reason why Listpic was banned.

Once upon a time, Photobucket was banned by MySpace, but both companies made up and Photobucket was acquired by the MySpace.  Could Listpic have a similar fate by Craigslist?  Stay tuned.
