Re:Ask HN: Why isn't this site as successful as Craigslist? by mwerty on Monday January 26, 2009 @03:59AM (#450182)
Network effects. Brand/mindshare.

One pattern that you could apply to break craigslist would be focus: http://ycombinator.com/munger.html [Search for 'travel magazine'].

You'd want to pick a suitable niche within craigslist and service that like crazy. Then move on to others.
