Quite a bit of dicussion here today about Craigslist so I thought I would add this:
http://www.craigslist.org/about/factsheet
Even though Vancouver was between the 11th and 14th city added to the list, it was still 6 years after they went online.
All of the first 10 cities were either West Coast cities (hence, Vancouver's early entry) or large metropolitan areas in the US: Chicago, NYC, Boston, D.C.
But, you were the first Canadian city, beating Toronto by 2 years and Montreal by 2 and 1/2 years.
Notice that it has been available in SF area for more than 15 years, longer than many of us even knew what the internet was.
Take note, they do not have a large sprawling campus like many of the tech firms in the Bay Area, but rather this only slightly interesting place in a neighborhood loaded with great restaurants and a barber shop across the street, with one massage table in the back, your typical TAMP.
