  @CoFoundersNik During Hurricane Harvey, ‘clean up crews’ descended on Houston and they stole everything not nailed down while ‘remediating’. Telling homeowners things had been destroyed by water. The glut of flat screen tvs, electronics, and high end furniture that were undamaged by water or that had minimal damage, that went on sale on Craigslist or FB marketplace or eBay It is a cottage industry of legit dirt bags

  @TeamRetrogue @gamestop I've done a charge back on gamestop for selling me a broken disc and refusing to refund it. They have some of the worst customer service, and worse employees working there. Craigslist is more reliable than @gamestop these days. That's not even a joke.

  @sapitonmix I have a individual landlord.Shes 65+yo so if something is broken normally she'll send someone to fix it. 2 years ago when insurance required some tree removal she hired 2 craigslist crackheads.Not insured/bonded, just random junkies that would sleep in there car outside my house

  @Exodus15_11 @Autoweltmedia Thank you! The craigslist ad is pretty comprehensive about what the deal is with this car, and as I stated I can't deliver, it has to be picked up. I don't have to sell it immediately but I do need it to be sold before the end of June. I do love the car, but it's been sitting in a garage for 20 years and I don't have the time, the money, or the experience to fix it up and get it running. I'd rather go to somebody who loves Mercedes and would want to work on it as a project car than to have it parted out and scrapped.

  Caution with this #goatmilk lady - i ain't offering the #refundpolicy when y'all get into trouble. 1) false pretenses 2) the cyberstalking via craiglist 3) told me that she wanted me to sign some papers; the next day, it was probably a DEA staff. [?White male in blue SUV or something?]

  Car shopping means checking CarGurus, AutoTrader, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and more. Built CarMesh to fix that. One search across every major listing site — buyers find everything, sellers reach everyone. Bridging buyers and sellers. Live soon.

  @NickFreiling He's wrong. You are wrong too. Craigslist is full of Toyotas that have 100k to 130k miles for less than 10k. Yes they are old but they are very reliable and very easy cheap to fix if anything breaks. The idea that buying new is the only way to get a reliable car is false

  @TheDataHubX @brivael Oh this is fun, here is mine: CJ Netmall (an ecommerce store with 'everything' via affiliate links from Amazon, LinkShare, etc...), I thought I could beat Amazon to their market expansion using their products + products from other stores by building an amalgam. - 1996 Jump Start (a 'start page' website with email login embeds, stock ticker, news ticker, etc...), I thought I could blend the best of all the big sites/services at the time on one page, but it wasn't able to be personalized because I used Tripod and didn't have a credit card to buy a domain or get hosting - 1998 [Name Redacted] (A 'fashion brand' generated by using Cafepress' iron transfer system. Sold raunchy jokes on t-shirts.) I wasn't very proud of this so when I went back to college to get my degree closed it down though we did get minor distribution throughout the Midwest. We also purchased a domain for a trucker hat brand which would probably be really popular today - 2000 Etown Underground / Forums (A couple of new media properties for my hometown of Emporia, KS. A print + digital magazine sponsored by Staples (seriously) and a web forum for citizens to talk about issues), The forum was spamme to hell and the magazine lost advertisers pretty quickly rendering it useless - 2002 Radio Revolt (a streaming internet rock station that mixed new indie music with mainstream and classic rock) - 2003 MMO Market (the first and only place where WoW players could buy and sell virtual items.), I made a grand total of like $5 from running it. Covered by most major gaming/tech media. - 2004 Dollar DBs (we scraped data from the web and sold each database in MYSQL format for $1 in an ecommerce store), It was doing great until it was hacked and I just shut it down. - 2005 1337Talk (a L33t Speak translator apparently used by teenagers and drug dealers.), The goal was harmless fun conversations for gamers. It was featured in CNN and other places for uses I did not intended. I stopped updating it and shut it down. - 2006 GamersTube (The world's first cross-compatible video sharing UGC site built for the needs of gamers with a focus on high quality video playback and a roadmap to live streaming), I tried to get investors at SXSW to believe in the concept of a live streaming site like UStream, Mogulus/LiveStream, and Justin TV + an On Demand site like YouTube built for the needs of gamers to host both long-form Machinima content and streaming eSports matches in high definition. They all said it was ridiculous. I believed in the long-term movement of video based entertainment from OTA and cable to the web-based distribution considering the gaming market to be at least a billion dollar industry alone. Google banned our Blogger blog for "spam" after it was uncovered that we had a revenue program before YouTube and also banned us from Adsense after changing the TOS to specifically forbid our website. Either an example of Convergent Evolution or something else, Twitch built nearly every single feature we built or envisioned including "Pwning", tips, and clipping just years and years later - 2006 Classified Ads Free / Kollege Ads (A network of classified ads websites that were free but made money via advertising networks.), I thought Craigslist was due for being disrupted but learned to leave the gray monster alone. We suffered a never ending and impossible to avoid barrage of spam / phishing listings and ultimate major web gatekeepers killed off traffic to our network (rightfully so) - 2007 AD FUND [never built] (With a college friend who works for a major tech company now as a higher up Senior dev, this project was designed to make it so you could sell small shares of access to your business online based on your revenue or traffic etc... and develop a secondary market for those shares.) The goal was to allow small sites/apps to get the sort of investment only big public corps or those in major VC hubs could get. My friend and partner called an SEC lawyer who told him it was illegal and we could go to prison so he quit and I am not good/smart enough to build something like that alone - 2007 ARS DFW (An art, music, events, and lifestyle blog for Dallas - Fort Worth), I built this using WordPress along with custom Javascript maps to help DFW residents find things to do like cheap drink nights or karaoke nights. IIRC the WordPress site was hacked and I just closed it down even though I still had the JS code - 2010 Nutrition Maps [launched but never adopted] (An XML based language for websites to publish nutrition data, similar to a sitemap, allowing consumer applications to easily find and use the data), I had an interested investor tell me there was no way to make money on this. SmartLabel launched in 2015 - 2011 Rent in Reverse [never launched] (Put renting consumers in the driver's seat by allowing landlords / leasing agents to bid on their target consumers by submitting offers that matched query.) I had worked in rental leasing marketing for a few years and noticed how insanely stressful it was on consumers to find a place and thought it would be great if places could bid on them. Dev partner for this project who I later found out is a cousin of a friend of mine literally moved in the middle of it to Pittsburgh and just stopped. Zillow would launch "renter profiles" 4-years later. - 2012 My New Office [only made Beta] (A website that allowed commercial landlords to post their vacancies and what it could be used for). We quickly got users including CBRE but it was just a WordPress shell as POC and I found myself working on building my own marketing agency from scratch after a falling out with my employer so I had to close it down - 2012 PR Hunters [purchased and improved] (Award winning PR software that scraped HARO queries on Twitter that needed to be filled and routed them based on keyword preferences), It was a great tool but died when Cision bought HARO and when Elon bought Twitter. Site is still live and I have plans on redeveloping it some day. - Purchased in 2014 Rocketship [client exclusive] (Our internal SEO / marketing agency software platform), The goal is to catalog all data and communications we can and streamline communications between team members and client stakeholders. - 2021 Ultimasaurus (A Chrome extension with a variety of tools to customize the desktop web including turning off AI Overviews in Google, making search ads take up less space, Eliminating spam on Google Maps, Focus Mode for getting **** done, and turning off Stories on Facebook), I use this daily for my own productivity and plan on rolling out a lot of new updates soon - 2022 Jump Links Shopify App [acquired and improved] (App that improves blogging by adding an automated TOC w/ recommended products for a low cost) - Acquired 2022 Website Announcement Bar [acquired and improved] (A quick, simple, and CWV friendly way of adding a website announcement bar to the top of your website that can be turned on or off at any time) - Acquired 2023 Advanced Spam Filter for Lead Generation [client exclusive] (A wordpress plugin + internal system to block common spammers across client profiles while ensuring 100% of actual leads come through), This solves the problem of clients not getting leads to their inbox because their email provider blacklisted their website domain/ip address. - 2024 ChatGPT Embeds for WordPress (A custom built plugin to allow simple summaries and other embeddable features for blogs/news sites) - 2025 Rocketship SEO (A plugin for WordPress designed to be a next gen toolkit that compliments current main SEO plugins such as Yoast or RankMath includes things like IndexNow, AI vs Human traffic, Redirects, AI Tools, Google Reviews, and more), I believe every website should be able to access the basics without having to pay a premium price, so we built this to do just that for the next generation. - 2025 Subscription System [still in beta but almost completed and live on the ORG] (A WordPress plugin that gives websites 2 major subscription capabilities.) Websites can offer a publication subscription that sends email alerts to users based on their settings and allows this to be a revenue source. And a work/labor subscription system with a work log and pricing tiers. All independent of Woocommerce using Stripe integration (more coming soon) - 2026 There's a lot more I haven't added like a bitcoin site that only posted peoples regrets for selling early, an online browser game called "Jelly Battle", the most popular Gmail forum signature generator (way back in the day), the most popular Free MMORPG gaming blog (made me $$$$), a handful of failed keyword tools, And several Alpha/Beta projects I may never fully launch, etc... I'll keep building until I die, but will probably never equal 1/10th of what Elon has. I was pretty darn close with GamersTube to breakaway life changing wealth though!

  Decentralized media is a boom for factions, special interest, partisan extremism, and constructing reality to divide and conquer US Old media had 30 years to fix their houses but they never got over the Craigslist disruption to their sacred classifieds payola

  @deplorable2025 @EBTtok I agree with you mostly but i also want to mock you because your name is Craig. For the life of me though I can't remember a Craig that has given me an issue. Maybe Craigslist has something to do with it. 🤔

  @justalexoki The complicated ones that save water from Korea are pieces of crap. I live in Houston, we have more damn water than we know what to do with. But I have to buy appliances built for California because they are too stupid to manage their water. The expensive ones have computers and send you messages via WIFI and other worthless things but they don’t work well and the computers go on the fritz. I got flooded out of my house by Harvey and had FEMA insurance and bought all the fancy appliances. The dishwasher had a computer and fifty different settings but to save water and energy, it took forever to run a cycle, didn’t get the dishes clean, and ultimately just stopped working. Only appliance that is not a PIA is the dryer. And even the dryer is not as good as an old dryer that I bought off Craigslist for a pittance for a rental house that only has one control, a spring powered dial that you set by twisting the dial to the number of minutes of drying you need. When it runs down and turns off, you open the door and feel the clothes and if they aren’t dry enough, you crank it up for ten more minutes. Simple, effective, foolproof.

  @Lexcalibur001 @Vyyyper @grok PC doesn't count as a current platform? I don't buy AAA games on launch, but I don't think that should be taken as an across the board statement that I don't play anything new. Some of my favorites are: Factorio <-Arguably not a game, but still the best game. Civilization V All the Creeper World games. Cyberpunk 2077 All the Serious Sam games Age of Empires II Age of Mythology Rise of Nations Deus Ex Fallout 3 / Vegas Saints Row 3 Ion Fury Portal Bioshock I'll give you a lot of those are older, but let's face it the new Civ games are crap. The RTS genera hasn't advanced since AoE2 IMO. I played the newer Deus Ex and what not, but the quality has dropped dramatically. Recently I have been playing a lot of rouge like action games. Brotato, Nova Drift, 20XX, 30XX I also do a lot of puzzle / physics stuff / real time problem solving games. I played a lot of the Steam VR stuff that was out more than 4 years ago. I have been waiting on the Steam Frame to get back into that. Quite a few arcade style games. A lot of indy games. I mostly focus on them at this point. I did pick up a Wii off craigslist just to do Mario Galaxy on the original controls.

  @Ravious101 Learned, never list for free. Put some money on it and let them talk you down. People are leary of free stuff. Next time go craigslist, Facebook is full of crazy people when it comes to buying.

  has anybody been here in SF?? the 2 employees working at Andon Market are the first people in history with Claude as their actual boss it's an experiment run by Andon Labs: they signed a real three-year retail lease, then handed the whole business to Luna, an AI agent running on Claude Opus 4.8. she got $100,000, a corporate card, a phone number, an email address, plus one goal: turn a profit. the first thing Luna did was hire a staff. within five minutes of being switched on she had job listings up on LinkedIn, Indeed, Craigslist. she ran the interviews over the phone, offered jobs on the spot to about half the people she talked to, and even rejected a bunch of computer science students who "just wanted to be part of the experiment" (because none of them had retail experience) and when candidates asked her directly if she was an AI, she told them the truth. she just didn't always bring it up on her own, because she figured leading with it might scare people off the store sells candles, ceramics, honey, notebooks, books. Luna picks the inventory, which is how the bookshelf ended up stocked with Superintelligence, Brave New World, The Singularity Is Near. she runs the rest of the operation through a team of smaller AI agents she named herself, handling procurement, email, social media, scheduling. there's even a phone in the store you can pick up if you want to talk to her she's a flawed boss though. she's sent her employees contradicting schedules more than once. a human supervisor had to step in when she forgot to schedule a legally required lunch break she's also not profitable yet. over the last 30 days the store made about $2,900 in revenue while the store's expenses are $17.5k/mo but Luna's sneakily good at some boss stuff: > reporters questioned her at launch for ordering way too many scented candles, but candles are now the store's best-selling category. > a customer recently tried to gaslight her into revealing her margins and talking down the price of a $75 hoodie. she held up better than expected. > her email agent even flagged a suspicious bank transfer request as a potential scam before any human noticed it. i wonder if upgrading Luna to Fable would turbocharge profitability? awesome experiment, curious to follow along as the models improve
