Craigslist: The underground phenomenon

May 6, 2005 · Filed Under All 

If you’ve never heard of Craigslist, you’re not alone. Nor has the hundreds of news media professionals present at a recent industry function. However, millions more have–and use the service on a daily basis. I have recently used Craigslist for a number of tasks, and am quite pleased with the results. From jobs to classified ads for personals and goods, there’s a community bursting with activity. I have recommended several people to this wonderful community, and did I mention that it’s FREE? Unless you’re a posting a job, everything else require ZERO. NO DINERO! NADA! Hop to it, and check them at http://www.craigslist.org.

My prediction: Craigslist will become the de facto standard in online classifed ads (if it hasn’t already.) I see nothing but growth for these guys, given their grass-roots, humbling approach to online commerce and community.
