Which is another reason why craigslist has staying power, it's EASY to use for people with almost zero computer skills. Craigslist charges nothing ZIP, ZERO, NADA and you can write as many words as you want and post as many pictures as you want and any size you want (if you know simple html, otherwise you're stuck with 4), it still amazes me that sellers still post ads with few words or without pictures. Think about this for a minute, before came along we'd sell our shit on eBay for a fee, a limited audience forum like this one, or in the Newspaper! The Newspaper STILL has people that pay $0.25 a letter for an ad that doesn't say much and only runs a week, if you're lucky "the paper" will put on their website too. But I don't see it happening for sometime because there's not much money to be made, 90%+ of craigslist sellers are getting a service that's free! So it's going to be extremely hard for competition to break into the market and take over, yes it will happen if craigslist doesn't adapt to what the users want. Well there was competition for craigslist, it was called Kijiji and it's now been 100% taken over by eBay and is now called eBay classifieds. The situation will improve unless and until a credible competitor for Craigslist appears.Ĭlick to expand.I agree with you 100% that they're boneheads, I mean they are San Fransisco hippies. You will see there areĪ multitude of reasons why Craigslist is a poor excuse for a web-based advertising solution. If you think I am alone in my criticism of Craigslist, just Google "why Craigslist sucks". The best strategy is to use all available search Were available when Searchtempest was working well. Makes it pretty easy to perform a reasonably precise search, though it doesn't allow all the options which It IS worth taking the time to learn how to use Google effectively. To drive to buy an item Craigslist should not presume to make such decisions for the user. Only the end user knows how far he or she is willing Newmark's insistence onĬraigslist being ONLY a "local tool" is arbitrary and just plain stupid. Join the long list of "things we used to use until a better way came along". ( the boneheads who own and run the Craigslist show ) will have to change their tune, or Craigslist will Competition will appear sooner or later and then Newmark and Buckmaster This because there is no real competition for Craigslist. ( the above site used to be "" )Ĭraigslist is run by people who choose to deliberately impede certain search techniques. Now that Searchtempest is unable to work well, my first choice is Every one of which post notices of toy-industry work every so often (arenahes. ![]() ![]() Which effectively "broke" Searchtempest's ability to work well. You could additionally see SearchTempest, CareerBuilder and also Monster. However, Searchtempest did not always find everything out there, even before Craigslist made the changes I agree that Searchtempest was the best when a quick and easy search was what you wanted to do.
