Finding a particular item you want on Craigslist can be a matter of actively checking back every day to see if somebody has listed one in your area, but for the lazy amongst us, there might be a better way. Check out Heycraig!, a site that watches Craigslist for you, and sends you an email alert when a new post matches your search terms. It's city-specific, and kind of tricky to fine-tune, but if ...

If you're shaking your moneymaker (quite literally) via Craigslist, you've only got 7 more days before your advertisements meet with closer scrutiny. In -- yet another -- agreement with a state Attorney General (this time, Connecticut) Craigslist will remove the Erotic Services category. Replacing "Erotic" will be a services section simply called "Adult". Craigslist says they'll employ staff to ...

There are thousands of ads for apartment listings, jobs, used furniture, computers, and other items on CraigsList.

Want to hire movers, a photographer, or a DJ? You could post an ad on Craigslist, but you never really know if you're going to get reliable service or some guy who shows up at your door with a baseball bat asking for your money and jewelry.

TypoBuddy, like previously reviewed TypoTracker, helps you find deals by searching for misspelled variations of the items you search for. Why?

Yesterday, we posted that Craigslist joined the 20th century with a 1990's-esque blog to let the world in on what's going on within the inner self of Craigslist. Today, Craigslist is already making fantastic progress through time. No, the blog still looks like it belongs in 1996, but it is demanding that the fan operated craigslistblog.org surrender it's domain. Although Craigslist CEO Jim ...

Craigslist has just added more languages to its online classifieds service. While there was no official announcement on Craigslit, founder Craig Newmark announced the news on his personal blog. The added languages include Spanish, French, Italian, and German. Future supported languages might include Basque and Klingon, though the latter has fallen out of everyday usage here on planet Earth. In ...

There's a lot of garbage on Craigslist -- including vowels, apparently. Crgslst cuts to the chase, providing a quick Ajax site that switches between cities and categories on Craigslist with one click. It looks a lot prettier than the real thing, too!

One of the best sources for minimalist classifieds, Craigslist has decided to branch out and learn Spanish. The new feature is still rather limited, as the new language toggle is only available for select cities and areas: namely those located in Central and South America. Considering the large number of Spanish speakers in the U.S., it would be nice to see the feature spread to those cities and ...

eBay is getting a facelift. And while it's probably long overdue, we're not quite sure if its necessary. While pretty much every new website you see these days use newfangled tools like AJAX and Flash animation to provide a desktop-like experience without the need to reload a webpage, a handful of popular sites have continued to get by with a web 1.0 interface. Craigslist and eBay are probably ...

Say on your last vacation you traveled abroad and found a candy, coffee creamer, or consumer electronic device that just wasn't available in your home. Sure, you could buy a plane ticket and fly halfway across the world to pick up some more chocolates. But even if they were really good chocolates, it's probably not worth it (unless you buy in bulk). Bringsome is sort of like an international ...

It seems like some internet savvy hookers have found out that Craigslist is the place to be in order to attract Johns interested in a little offline business. Local authorities have been monitoring the employment and for sale ads, and have noticed a steady increase in action from the sex trade business. Nassau County, New York was where the latest sting took place. In the past year alone, over 70 ...

If you want to sell a used computer, eBay's great. But if you're looking to unload a mattress, car, or dining table, not so much. One of the great things about eBay is that you can buy items from anyone in the world, which helps keep the prices low. But once you add shipping, heavy items are kind of a hassle. Sure, you could look for items available for pickup, but most people have just migrated ...
