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.
