I've been surfing around a site called
craigslist.org and it's been quite the refreshing journey into classified ads and the like! For once, a web site that lists classifieds and job postings for "free" - no fuss, no muss. This site actually has a mission! Check this out (taken from the "About" page at craigslist.org):
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.
How cool is that? I can practically feel the love. Check it out if you're looking for a job, a friend, or a new guitar.... or anything else you can think of. Chances are, you'll find it at craigslist.org. Just be careful when typing the URL - I spelled it wrong once and ended up at a porn site. :)
