Craigslist on Steroids
I love love love Craigslist. Thanks to that site I just found and bought my first car, a 2002 Mercedes Benz C230 Coupe for $9,995 (sweeeeet).
But, have you ever been looking for something on Craigslist and just gotten annoyed by having to click on each link to see the item's photo? I have. Tonight I was looking for a couch to buy and after 15 minutes of clicking I decided there's got to be a better solution.
Thank goodness for the internets!
The solution is a site called listpic, which I found through the Google of mashups, Programmable Web.
The site is set up exactly like Craigslist, but when you get to your city's listing pages (ex: furniture in Phoenix), the page is filled with photos of items matching your search. It even has a slider for you to choose the size and number of photos to see (much like iPhoto).
If you're on Craigslist as often as I am, check this site out! It's a major time-saver.
Other Craigslist mashups I love:
- HousingMaps: mashes Craigslist rentals/housing lists with Google Maps
- Weekend treasure: Garage sales from Craigslist mashed with Google Maps (best to try this on Friday nights)
Are there any Craigslist mashups or tools you use? There aren't many, but I hope there will be more soon!

another great tool... if you often use Craigslist, you can use this code to track your posted ad in real-time.

Checkout CL Desktop (Craigslist Desktop) at http://www.cldesktop.com.
Very cool Craigslist browser. Better than Listpic, and still running.
