Problems
                        Craiglist = Economy

      Not enough information for public
                        Difficult to make decisions

Should I wait until next month?
                                                   Am I getting a good deal?
      Should I negotiate?
                                      Questions
                                                       Can I get it cheaper?
                        Am I getting ripped off?


                                How much should I sell my cat?

                 Should I even sell my cat?

Inspiration




Sunday, March 1, 2009
HousingMaps.com
                    • Google / Craigslist mashup for houses /
                        living quarters
                    • Grabs RSS data once a day from CL




Sunday, March 1, 2009
From Bill @ CL
                There are really two issues here:

                1) Craigslist is a *local* tool and we discourage any tool that
                blurs that distinction

                2) The manner in which this tool gets information from our
                site is all wrong. The reason that we don't mind
                housingmaps.com traffic is that they pull one RSS feed a day to
                update their data.

                #1 is enough to make us unhappy about this so it doesnt
                matter if #2 changes or not.
                                                                from Bill in comments

  • 23. From Bill @ CL There are really two issues here: 1) Craigslist is a *local* tool and we discourage any tool that blurs that distinction 2) The manner in which this tool gets information from our site is all wrong. The reason that we don't mind housingmaps.com traffic is that they pull one RSS feed a day to update their data. #1 is enough to make us unhappy about this so it doesnt matter if #2 changes or not. from Bill in comments Sunday, March 1, 2009
