Craigslist is a website created in 1995 by Craig Newmark to help people find jobs and connect within local communities. It began as a website just for San Francisco but now connects over 450 locations worldwide. Craigslist works to prevent fraud and illegal activity on its site by monitoring listings and not allowing abusive, private, or illegal information to be posted. The site is popular in Tokyo for community event listings, personal connections, and job postings.
