I hooked up with one of my employers via Craigslist.com (worcester) and realized how useful it is. Once we posted a size 24 wedding dress for free and it found a new home within the week.
Today I'm listening the Personal Computer Show from March 26th. That's one of my podcasts from WBAI. They're conducting an interview with the CEO, Jim Buckmaster. Craigslist has 24 employees and gets 10 billion page views per month! He says that while they do make sure they run a financially solid business, their underlying purpose is to maximize the social good that they can do at the site, and to be as useful as they can be to as many people who want or need the service.
On another topic, there was a big fire in Korea at a factory (LG Chem) which produces many of the backup batteries for laptops. Turns out there are some very tight supply lines for computers so when something like this happens it can really affect a lot of people.

It seems that people are using Craigslist also for "hookups"!
