It’s an everyday site for millions of a Americans, but most Australians have never heard of it.

Craigslist was started by a guy named Craig (funny that) and was originally utilised as a way to promote local events in San Francisco. Fast Forward 13 years and it is the 56th most popular Web Site in the world.

There are books, movies and court cases that have come from it.

And now it’s Canberra’s turn!

Yes! Craigslist comes to Canberra!

Enjoy your Strictly Platonic, Missed Connections and Casual Encounters.

Don’t forget to advertise your couches, and bikes!

You can even find jobs, classes, pets, jokes and pretty much anything.

The beauty of craigslist is the simplicity, the speed and the community feel that it has. I loved using it in DC for meeting people, but it’s widely used for selling stuff and just generally finding like-minded people.

As long as it is used, it is a great tool.

So get out there and USE it. It might just work
