2. About Claigslist
• originally a San Francisco community
electronic newsletter, is now one of the
most visited English language Web sites,
with local classifieds for more than 450
cities worldwide. The site's main function
is to host classified ads that cover
practically every category you can think of,
including housing, job postings, items for
sale, services and personals.
3. Feature 1
• Posting for most classifieds categories on
craigslist is free, and it's also free to
browse and respond to ads. The Web site
doesn't have any flashy animation or
graphics -- its value comes from its
utilitarian design and the contributions of
its users.
4. Feature 2
• If all you want to do is browse the site, you
can just visit craigslist.org and click away.
The site has a range of broad categories,
and each category has several
subcategories, making it easy to navigate
to the appropriate section quickly. For
example, the "for sale" category features
subcategories like computer, books,
electronics, sporting, motorcycles and
collectibles, among others.
5. How to use Craigslist
• If you want to participate in forum discussions
or post your own classifieds, you need to
create a craigslist account. The only thing
you need to become a member is a valid e-
mail address. The signup process is short
and painless -- after entering your e-mail and
filling in a verification word, you'll receive an
e-mail that includes a link you'll need to click
on to verify your account and log in. Once
you've done that, you've officially joined the
craigslist community.
6. Security
• Craigslist users act like the site's
watchdogs by monitoring the content that
gets posted. Users flag posts to draw
attention to those that are particularly
interesting and those that detract from the
site. The tags that can be applied to posts
are best of craigslist, miscategorized,
spam/overpost and prohibited.
7. My opinion
• I think this site is similar to the Amazon.
The difference is Amazon can shopping,
Craigslist can appear advertisement. So
there is many similarities. For example,
divided into categories, we can use free
these site, etc.
8. Summary
• This site is used by many many people.
And this site is very popular. So this site is
overused sometimes. But I think this saite
is good site because using easy and free.
