Have you met Craig..

Wednesday, March 23, 2005


Well, this is one of those cases where I am one of the last to know..

Do you know Craig? Craig Newmark? He runs a little site called
craigslist.org.

This is a person to person sales site. According to Google, his page rank is equal to eBay, globeandmail.com, and wikipedia.org.

Think eBay minus the whole payment, barter, and shipping hassle. Articles ranging from clothing, to cars are sorted by city, from
Anchorage to Auckland.

Talk about a
Free Prize!

Yesterday, I bought something from a guy in a 2000 dollar suit, who drives a brand new Porche 911. I met him, made a friend, and got the item I wanted.

So, to elaborate on my Free Prize thought.. remove the hassle, make it personal, and give me exactly what I need.. in my own neighbourhood.

Thanks
Craig...
