Coupla Bros Seek CL Wedding Dates
February 20, 2013As reported in New York Magazine:
Dave and Mike had a problem: The bros (in every sense of the word) have been told that they must bring dates to their cousin’s upcoming wedding in order to prevent them from “harassing” the bride’s friends all night.
Asked how their family is going to react to the stunt, one brother [said]: “Out of boredom I tried to convince my dad at Christmas that I’d gone gay now because the lifestyle just suits me better. He was very confused and extremely unamused. I’d imagine he’ll have the same response to this once we just keep repeating, ‘We’ve gone viral, pop.'”

October 18, 2012In a throwback to the roaring 20s, Maneesh Sethi recruited a slapper off CL to give him a hand in staying on task, and saw his productivity quadrupule.
Said Sethi, “How could I leverage Craigslist to improve my efficiency. To me, the answer was obvious: I hired a girl on Craigslist to slap me in the face everytime I used Facebook.”
For a mere $8/hr, can you afford not join him in this arms race?

Hmmm, wonder what I could get for 10 tea bags of rich, robust Guayaki fair trade Yerba Maté?

May 18, 2010Here are the top 5 search providers, as ranked by Comscore for March 2010. Just for fun I’ve added % growth since January 2009, when Jeremy Zawodny(formerly at Yahoo) replaced craigslist’s old search architecture:
| 1. | 13,996,000,000 | 19% | |
| 2. | Yahoo | 2,839,000,000 | -5% |
| 3. | Microsoft | 1,883,000,000 | 58% |
| 4. | Ask | 719,000,000 | 11% |
| 5. | craigslist | 685,000,000 | 38% |
Wonder how CL would rank if we were actually in the search business?
