Craigslist was incorporated as a private for-profit company in 1999. In April 1999, when Newmark learned of other organizations called 'List Foundation', the use of this name was dropped. In the fall of 1998, the name 'List Foundation' was introduced, and Craigslist started transitioning to the use of this name. Newmark registered '', and the website went live in 1996. Community members started asking for a web interface.

The initial technology encountered some limits, so by June 1995 Majordomo had been installed, and the mailing list 'Craigslist' resumed operations. User demand for more categories caused the list of categories to grow. This led to the addition of a jobs category. People trying to get technical positions filled found that the list was a good way to reach people with the skills they were looking for. There was no moderation and Newmark was surprised when people started using the mailing list for non-event postings. The number of subscribers and postings grew rapidly via manual advertising. Most of the early postings were submitted by Newmark and were notices of social events of interest to software and Internet developers living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. In early 1995, he began an email distribution list to friends. Having observed people helping one another in friendly, social, and trusting communal ways on the Internet via the WELL, MindVox and Usenet, and feeling isolated as a relative newcomer to San Francisco, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark decided to create something similar for local events.
