Auto trader is an example of a company that thrived by offering the consumer an organized source of cars for sale in a particular geographical area. New Autotrader publications were released periodically.
If you were looking for a car in the 80's you might have gone to the local street corner and picked up a copy of the local classified ad weekly and turned to the auto section.
Apartment rentals are another example of a news paper information source being usurped by the web.
Craigslist changed the communication medium for the regular newspapers and free classified ad hand outs.
Autotrader migrated to the web. But competitors soon appeared to challenge their dominant position in the auto ad business. Companies such as vast.com and craigslist captured market share in the auto ad business.
Craiglist is a database that is maintained by its members.
Vast.com aggregates information from online sources.
