Time Magazine Discovers Craig's List

from the took-'em-long-enough dept

If you live in the San Francisco area, you're probably quite familiar with Craig's List. Sometimes I wonder how anything ever was done in a time before Craig's List. While there are plenty of big name sites with lots of marketing dollars, most people looking for a job or a place to rent look to Craig's List first. It's been that way for ages. So, it's a bit surprising to see that Time Magazine has just discovered Craig's List. I know that the site has expanded to many other cities, but unfortunately, the article doesn't say how well it's catching on in those places.

    It doesn't suprise me that Time just found about Craig's list. We all know how up on the internet they are over there at Time Warner!

    Here in New York CL is a big hit. It's an unspoken, that is, everyone reads it but few people talk about it. I was able to sell most of my furniture via the sales boards when I moved last fall.

    If techies complain about spam/popups, but are then secretive/exclusive about good sites like CL, then how do they expect the internet to ever get better?

    Craig's list is about to take off huge in Chicago. I've been using it to advertise apartments for rent for two weeks and already have increased my # of clients by 50% most of which are from out-of-towm. If the consumers discover the "apartments for rent" section in Chicago for a while before the other realtors I won't mind!!! Craig's list rules!!! A very friendly community service.

    Craigs List is a great resource, but it is not the only game in town. This new startup is staring to gain in popularity.
