Craigslist – find a roomate, a date, and a free couch

I tend to find myself scavenging craigslist, during my favorite classes.  Humanities classes for instance, or perhaps even business management, where the one time my facial expression changes is when I find that breakthrough deal.   I’ve bought Red Sox playoff tickets, washing machines, bikes, and even week long stays in resorts on islands.  Craigslist is the ultimate online meeting place.  Where fees are unheard of, and users browse, and Web 2.0 is something that’s gone by unnoticed.

Craigslist’s ability to stay relevant has been a testament to its loyal user base.  Valuation of the company is often difficult to pinpoint, and despite requests to sell out, its original owners maintain control.  Unlike ebay, where fees strip profit margins, Craigslist, does an excellent job of organizing by region and bringing buyers and sellers together.
