Craigslist Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Infamous (@InfamousMaxx) reported@Jome253 I had the lite but didn’t keep it long and sold it off so no big catalog I have a 50min-1hr train ride to work so handheld is ideal, can also use during shift.. Money isn’t issue but I’ve looked on Craigslist for value but most are too used up so leaning brand new.

lmorato (@lmorato4) reportedWell, have you ever considered that maybe there was a really cool thing on craigslist that was worth like 100 billion but Erdogan was really really smart and haggled it down to just 20 and the guy fell for it and now he's just waiting for it to arrive in a week or two?
-
Jay (@JJcollecs) reported@ScottFriedman3 @StubHub @coachella Honestly check Craigslist for people trying to panic sell. Have done it for 4+ years and never had an issue.
-
Bob Smith (@TheGoodBobby) reported@mattyglesias Another big issue is the death of local reporting. Local newspapers were decimated first by Craigslist, and then finished off by Facebook. I'm on a couple local councils and the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no good way to keep people informed anymore.
-
GhostExodus (@ExodusGhost) reported@f3dscr0w Yes. That was the issue. It took the FBI’s Cybercrime Division to de-anonymize me. They discovered a Craigslist post of mine where I’d uploaded a resume showing 3 security companies I’d worked for, and the employment dates. No name. A burner phone number. Burner email. They phoned all 3 companies with the dates and were able to enumerated my name.

🥤🦆 (@MilkshakeDuck3) reported@RedPillMediaX @ScottPresler already has his skinny jeans down around his cowboy boots. I wonder if he'll sell the videos on Craigslist again?

Brigadier Ketchup 🦨 (@Random_Walk_PDX) reported@GuyDealership If you need a 7 year note to finance a car, you're in way over your head. If your down payment isn't at least 1/3 the purchase price, look for something used and/or cheaper... or hit Craigslist. This is just basic financial literacy.

Quillionis (@Quillionis) reported@PS0302 @lyndseyfifield @SammyBarrow32 Can definitely fix appliances yourself but it almost always means getting new parts. Meanwhile the frozen food is going to waste and probably has to be emptied anyways to make repairs. Best solution is cheapest freezer you can find on craigslist to tide you over. Maybe even rent

Thomas Meijer (@ijsthee) reportedYou don't need a designer. You need a decision filter for 'what belongs here.' 3 Proofs: 1. User Onboarding study: 86% of churn due to unclear flows, not ugly UI 2. Craigslist looks terrible. Still dominates because IA is perfect for its job. 3. Most redesigns fail because they change visuals without fixing structure Question: If users can't find features, will prettier buttons help?

***** (@Davebenolinovo) reported@AbhiCodes15 actually building it right now — an app to find and give away free stuff in your city. started because Craigslist free section is a disaster and Facebook Marketplace has too much friction. sometimes the simplest problems make the best SaaS

ON THE COO… (@six_year_plan) reported@FreeMrktCptlst Went to Vegas in 2016 Got craigslist **** delivery - a $60 eighth of crisp sour. Busted it down in the room and rolled a 1 1/4 Zig Zag, no crutch and hit the strip and lit it up. Get back to my room and the whole room reeks. I get paranoid about a $150 smoking charge and flush the rest.

That Startup (@ThatStartup_) reportedIn 2005, Craigslist turned down $10 billion from Rupert Murdoch. No auction. No bidding war. No counter. Just no. Craig Newmark thought selling would betray the people who used the site.

Hurricane Ben (@lukane89) reported@swanlake322562 @DAKKADAKKA1 bought cars consoles furniture and tvs on craigslist no problem, just gotta use common sense if a price is too good to be true there's a reason..Also the structure of the ad is very telling. If the person can barely put together a proper sentence stay away
-
Apple Lamps (@lamps_apple) reported@PeteHegseth Boat looks salvageable… Please DM me coordinates Id like to fix it up and sell on Craigslist

Patrick C. Delaney (@PatrickCDelaney) reported@AngelMD1103 I had this same problem with Craigslist giving away free stuff. Can you help me take it downstairs? No, it’s free stupid
