Interesting news regarding Backpage. What do you think will be the future of Backpage? I wonder, in another 15 years or so, how all this will look?

Sounds like Larkin & Lacey pulled off a sweet deal. Last I heard, Backpage was the largest revenue generator of the holdings. This gives them a purer business model to run with.

Nikki,
Thanks for the info. Backpage seems to be fairly profitable. As long as that's the case, it'll continue. My only concern is that when its on it's own it may be vulnerable to the same pressure that was applied to Craigslist. The result would be much more cryptic ads by providers.

I salute Larkin & Lacey for standing behind what they believe in!
