The people speak

It's pretty simple. I don't need to bash the current classified ad solution, or other e-commerce sites that haven't changes much in years, or been innovative in solving some of the problems they've had for years.

Here's a two quick ones for you taken from the conversations happening on Twitter.

re:speaking of flagging (Lantown...or weevill)

I agree! I hate that it has come to this but since [CraigsList] is a 501-c3 yet does not allow outsiders to attend meetings this is the only outlet for those disgusted to voice opinions. Open the meetings and the books like all other 501-c3's and this will all go away . Flagginfgthese [sic] posts is censorship. Welcome to wee town. Open your meetings to the public little man.

@517butterfly laments the "flakers" on CraigsList

I hate being stood up by someone on #craigslist. Seriously I could have had boxes unpacked instead of waiting in this flippin parking lot.

 

We think it's a clear indication that the community around this site is crumbling pretty quickly. Time will tell.
