Bye bye craigslist
On 12, Aug 2008 | 2 Comments | In User Experience | By Ryan Feeley
I appreciate the minimalist route craigslist has taken. I do. They have a desire to keep their team very small which means that some of the niceties you would expect from a bulletin board are lacking. Oddly this 1996-style of site has helped them penetrate the mainstream far deeper than nickel-and-dime-you-to-death eBay ever will.
For a long while I have been using ByeByeList which presents results from craigslist searches in thumbnail view. A great way to separate the wheat from the chaff. And even though it says alpha, I’ve only ever experienced a downtime once. Enjoy it!
