The Craigslist user experience is just fine, IMHO. Rather than trying to improve what's not broken, how about finding a way to get rid of the SPAM and eliminate the scams. When it first started, Craigslist was great because there was a community of trust. As it became popular, trust disappeared.
- chumbawumba 16y agoThis is a great point. How do you think an application such as craiggers can re-introduce that trust? Do you think integrating facebook/twitter would help? How about a mashup of facebook marketplace and craigslist in which you could send your friends posting, see what your friends have 'liked', etc.?
- ams6110 16y agoAny time I've bought or sold anything on craigslist the transaction has been with a total stranger. I don't see how tying in Facebook would be anything other than a needless annoyance.
- thingsilearned 16y agoActually I think improving the UX is a great start on reducing the effects of spam. If you can simply mouse down the the next entry its much less of a problem.
