People don't go to the internet for local stuff like what's posted on that bulletin board because there is no good site for it. Because there is no good site for it, people don't look for that type of info on the net and the problem perpetuates itself. Newspapers, for example, had online classifieds before Craigslist, but craigslist made it easy and cheap (or free). I don't understand why local newspapers don't have free online classifieds. It would drive up page views, give your community a sense that your paper is relevant, and allow visitors to the site exposure to your content further enhancing the experience and so on. Something needs to be done by newspapers to add value to their customers lives. This could be it. Lets hope someone tries.
