    I need a script that will pull legit freelance jobs off job boards and craigslist. I need to be able to sort the jobs into categories.: Writing, Graphic Design, Web design.

    Anyone up for this? I want to start a site that offers freelance jobs, not sites that want you to pay to take surveys or any of that crap. I would liek it to be nicely organized for each category, but need daily updated jobs!

    Please PM me

    Yes its possible. Is it against the sites' TOS, I don't know. I know its against craigslist's TOS. The other sites you could be ok on since this site http://www.projectslist.biz/ does what you are after.

    Are you saying I could be sued for doing this?

    They could sue but its highly unlikely. More likely to get a cease & desist letter if that. Its a gray area. I would look to use their RSS feeds though, should make it easier.

    rss feeds are sometimes slower... if your not selling and redirecting maybe it will be ok but even for that you should ask first unless it's for personal usage...
