And that doesn't conflict with Craigslist's terms of service?

- ericd 16y agoThe online applications aren't on Craigslist listings, only on ones posted on PadLister.
- tgrass 16y agoIf you pitch to investors, think of framing that issue differently. CL's TOS does not make a distinction: crawling is denied to the website that specializes in classified listings. Crawling seems to be a poorly defined legal area, so doing it is wise: carve out your space while you can. But it would also seem wise to plan on getting denied to CL. You would not be the first nor the last.
- ericd 16y agoYeah, good point. PadMapper itself was started as a hobby project, but PadLister aims to be a bit more commercial. I don't know if it matters that PadLister is almost entirely separate from PadMapper.
