[Zakeet]

Now tens of thousands of Obama voters have to find a new place to get their news!

[ClearCase_guy]

More evidence of this strong recovery under Obama.

[GeronL]

Oh no, all those old people are going to lose a connection to the outside world (remember Biden saying something like that?)

[House Atreides]

“Now tens of thousands of Obama voters have to find a new place to get their news!”
****************************************************************************************************
I think most of them get their news from TMZ and “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Craigslist is eating their lunch.

[SierraWasp]

Not with the multi-millions of elderly who are still intimidated by the personal computer!!!

Of course if you're not in the 25 through 45 age bracket, not too much ad space is aimed at you anyways!!!

how does craigslist make a profit?

[Leaning Right]

I hope this isn't a nationwide shutdown, because I really liked the local Pennysaver’s pizza coupons.

and since they shut down there adult section there haven’t been any mass murderer craigslisters recently :)

[Vendome]

Pound paid, Penny Shaved...

[9thLife]

...because she was unauthorized by the company to talk to the news media

That never stops them, does it? In fact, it seems to be a guarantee that they'll talk to the media.

[SaveFerris]

Haven’t they heard about the booming economy and the ultra-low unemployment rate?

How can this be?

Oh, it be.

[funfan]

No just the women who cut babies out of pregnant womens bellies.

I would never use Craigslist ever and I tell my kids that all the time.

[Fungi]

Very good question. Anyone care to explain? I have visited the site less than ten times. I do not find it useful. Thanks Mike, you always get to the root of the plant.

“there haven’t been any mass murderer craigslisters recently”

just babies being cut from their wombs as a result of fake baby clothes ads in Longmont.

[MeshugeMikey]

there are no banners....no video advertising... No Commercial Links whatsoever!

How one could generate Income from a “commercial free” website is beyond me

maybe they secretly accept tips??

[dp0622]

Good lord!!! sometimes I wonder if God just doesn’t slap his head and say what the heck man?

[funfan]

And buy the really good Obamacare insurance.

[jocon307]

“how does craigslist make a profit?”

I’d love to know that. It is now the only viable place to look for a job.

ARRRGGGGGHHHHH, I’m just really hating life lately.

Nothing is all good or all bad. I met my loving wife through my Craigslist personal ad in 2006.
