Violent crimes linked to Craigslist ads in Minnesota and Boston have made headlines, but CEO Jim Buckmaster said the site is an 'extremely unsafe venue for criminal activity because you're virtually guaranteeing that you're going to get caught.'

27 top Internet publishers – New York Times, CNN, CBS Interactive, ESPN and the Wall Street Journal – say they’ll try the supersize ads in an attempt to get the attention of Web surfers who have learned to ignore banners. But doubters say more intrusive ads won't work. "We will tune those out as well," says Jose Castillo.
