Craigslist sues eBay, alleges corporate spy plan

So, eBay is finally exercising its options to make some needed inroads into its 'investment' in craigslist? My, my...interesting how capitalism creates such strange bedfellows.

I am not even going to bother opining on the merits of the case.  There are plenty of companies over the years that have been involved in similar circumstances. However, this case is getting so much attention that whatever trade secrets they were trying to keep are now going to be publicly known.

1.  Lawsuits are a reflection that the market competition is very intense. 2.  Craigslist needs to focus on product solutions

eBay's battle with Craigslist is a great example of a PR challenge eBay faces. eBay constantly mishandles PR. eBay must wake up to this fact and hire a proven PR guru.
