Craigslist Changes Classic Layout in Response to Competition

Craigslist has changed it’s old layout. Was is because of millions of users complaining for years? No! It was because of competition from a rival site!

…Craigslist.org has historically been known to not bend to the pressure of it’s users. That’s why it’s drab grey layout has been the standard layout since Craigslist was founded. Recently, something has changed Craigslist’s outlook and forced them to become more aesthetically appealing. What is it? Competition! Mayslist.com has been gaining ground on Craigslist.org and Craigslist has taken notice. The new Craigslist layout looks so much like Mayslist, one has to wonder if Craigslist is making an attempt to protect itself from further loss of users by mirroring Mayslist.

Mayslist.com was created recently and has been the topic of much conversation on the craigslist user forums and discussion boards as being the best alternative to Craigslist.

There are some key differences that suggest that Mayslist is more in-tune with the next generation of online classifieds users:

The flagging on Mayslist is not peer moderated at this time so there is no way for a spiteful or opportunistic user to flag your post to…

Vermont mom, daughter accused of Craigslist scam

An East Haven mother and her daughter pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges they plotted to obtain merchandise from vendors on Craigslist by falsely claiming they had transmitted funds for purchase of the items and demanding the items be sent.

…Louise Townsend, 61, and Misty Townsend, 22, were arraigned on conspiracy, mail fraud and passing counterfeit money charges in federal court in Burlington on Thursday morning and were released on conditions by Federal Magistrate John M. Conroy.According to a three-count indictment in the case, the two women negotiated purchases of electronic equipment, jewelry and other items by sending e-mails to the sellers saying funds for the goods had been deducted from their PayPal account but would not be sent until there was proof the items had been shipped. Craigslist is an Internet classified advertising site.”In fact, the defendants did not have any valid accounts at PayPal and they never made any payments for the merchandise they had ordered,” a three-count indictment issued by a federal grand jury last month said. The bogus purchases took place in August.PayPal is an Internet business that electronically processes payments for online transactions.Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Waples said the Townsends also…

Top10Best.net: top 10 best - How to Upgrade an Old Phone int

Most people throw away old cell phones without a second thought. Steven Ortiz is not like most teenagers. This 17-year-old Californian went on Craigslist to turn a used cell phone a friend gave him into a Porsche

…Craigslist isn’t so different from a newspaper’s classified section: People list items they no longer want for whatever reason. But sometimes instead of selling these items for paltry amounts of cash, online users barter with each other. For example, one person might be willing to part with a record collection. But that bin of old vinyl might be a treasure trove to someone with an extra bicycle on their hands. So people email back and forth, meet up, swap, and oftentimes end up owning something far more valuable than what they started with.Unlike MacDonald and his red paperclip website, however, Ortiz didn’t publicize his efforts he did it quietly on his own. It took him one year longer than MacDonald, but the Glendale, CA, youth managed to turn an outdated phone into a 2000 Porsche Boxster S.Ortiz spends five to six hours each day searching Craigslist for the right kind of swaps. Over the last two years and 14 trades, he’s had an eclectic assortment of items in his possession, including an iPod touch,…
