[Classifieds] Craigslist


craigslist.org Posted by Picasa
craigslist is about:
  • giving each other a break, getting the word out about everyday, real-world stuff.
  • restoring the human voice to the Internet, in a humane, non-commercial environment.
  • keeping things simple, common-sense, down-to-earth, honest, very real.
  • providing an alternative to impersonal, big-media sites.
  • being inclusive, giving a voice to the disenfranchised, democratizing ...
  • being a collection of communities with similar spirit, not a single monolithic entity.
Well I'm moving to a new apartment with a friend this month and where do we turn to find out what's available, Craigslist. This site rocks, it's a free service (unless you're a business) classifieds site on the web that's been around forever and somehow manages to stay incredibly simple and ad free. I even found my job on this site.

San Francisco (my home) is the biggest Craigslist, but there are versions for tens of cities all over the world.

Now, Craigslist does a lot, and I will say that it's not always the best tool when it comes to getting stuff sold quickly or for the best price, but it's community attitude really does make it a great little piece of the web.
