- CalRobert 8y agoWhich was a shame, because padmapper stuck it on a map and linked to Craigslist, instead of just taking the content. If Google Maps did it nobody would think twice.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoCraigsList might make them think twice. I don't think they want to overly exhaust their own resources, what they have works for them.
