    ???

    It's a popular site, but what does it do??
    It looks weird and it doesn't say what it's about.
    Anyone using it for something?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist

    Craigslist is a centralized network of online urban communities, featuring free classified advertisements (with jobs, housing, personals, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs and resumes categories) and forums sorted by various topics.

    It was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area. After incorporation in 1999, Craigslist expanded into nine more U.S. cities in 2000, four each in 2001 and 2002, and 14 in 2003. As of November 2006, Craigslist had established itself in approximately 450 cities all over the world.

    The site is a classifieds site; people use it to buy and sell stuff, offer and find jobs, and meet and network with people.

    Just click around for a minute and you'll figure it all out.

    Feel free to explain.
    The main page is PR8, so a good link there will certainly help.

    Craigslist is a community website. It is of great importance to web marketing experts and online businesses because it offers a great amount of free traffic. You can read more about the opportunities of making money at Craigslist from the link in my signature.
