baby furniture, sell electronics, i think it's actually only you who sees it that way.

Only me? woohoo! - Stephen Jul 22, 14:47 2
- i wouldn't say only you, but it's only you here. - b. Jul 22, 14:52
- when was the last time you visited CL? Have you ever? -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:48
agreed, I'm the freak for not using it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:46
Granted, sell electronics = those I ripped out of car dashes...but still. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:46 18
- just out of curiousity - if you wanted to get rid of some crap, but not enough for a garage sale, would you actually run an ad in the newspaper? -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:47 2
  - Hell no. I've used CL. I just am in joke mode. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:48 1
    - oh. heh. carry on then. :) -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:49
- you guys seriously don't understand craigslist (which is fine, whatever.) -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:46 14
  - I'm kidding with all this. I didn't realize CL was so heavy in jobs, but at the same point, I'd use whatever I could - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:49
  - they both sound like crotchety old men talking about that degenerate rock and roll music. haha -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:47 12
    - like the people who refuse to join FB? -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:47 11
      - ahem. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 14:50 1
        
        I'm just teasing. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:52
      - much more so, because craigslist has a very useful purpose whereas FB is more of fun and entertainment -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:48 8
        
        it's getting to be a must for networking. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:52 6
        
        alot of companies ban it so I coubt you mean work networking -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:55 3
        
        i read a story the other week that some companies who had banned it have subsequently reinstated access due to business uses. - b. Jul 22, 14:57 1
        
        here it is. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 22, 14:59
        
        I do mean work networking. it depends what business you're in. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:57
        
        fair point - it has its usefuleness as well, but not in the general purpose sense that CL does -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:54 1
        
        it's not exactly the same, that's why it's an *analogy*. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:55
        
        FB is quite big in journalism circles as a way of finding contacts. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:49
