  5. Cant search by state
  6. Cant combine cities to search at once
  7. Cant get sms alerts

There may be many other points you want to highlight please feedback in comments … our mission is to improve craigslist interface by public campaign

Craigslist vs 3Taps

Craigslist vs 3Taps

Now a days Craigslist has started attack on site using Craigslist data. And the sever attack was on Padmapper and 3Taps .

Both companies were using craigslist data with out permission. Now the question is the ads you post on craigslist have copy rights from Craigslist.org ? or you own the copy right of that data.

Personally I think Craigslist have public data and every one can use that but with reference. As craigslist had a tuff time in the past to grow their network, and its time for them to sit back and taste the fruit that comes in variety and with no efforts.

However innovation in technology and user friendly navigation are two things which are missed at craigslist. And other try to get benefit of this weakness.

So what they earn should be a minimum amount to spent on development so that visitors can easily access them.

May be am wrong … if you agree with me please comment below.

Craigslist Dispute with Padmapper

Craigslist Dispute with Padmapper

Padmapper was offering apartment listings and fuel of listings was provided by Craigslist but without its consent.

So last week Craigslist took a legal action and blocked to crawl its site even the Google cant crawl craigslist data. But after few days meeting with EFF craigslist founder Craig Newmark decided to relax its policy and revert back to its TOS that was in FEB.

We hope Craigslist will allow its data usage on ther sites, ultimately traffic goes to craigslist .

Craigslist vs eBay classifieds

Craigslist vs eBay classifieds

Craigslist and eBay classifieds are two big portal serving semi free classifieds in United States.

I believe that Craigslist is highly popular in each every city of USA, but ebay classifieds have very few visitors as compared to craigslist, but why miss it, as data posted on many websites have greater visibility and result in fast sale.

I suggest you to use both sites at once.
