Craigslist to Start Charging for Some Listings

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the site-abuse-the-same-the-world-over dept.

rufey writes "In the coming months, Craigslist will begin charging fees for some of its listings. New York City real estate listings will be the first to get the fees. Starting on March 1st, it will cost $10 to list real estate on Craigslist for New York City. The fees may not be limited to New York real estate however. Job postings may see fees imposed for various parts of the country. The fees have been proposed as a way to combat the problem of people posting the same thing several times a day to keep their listing near the top of the list."

    I never understood what the big deal with Craigslist was- I've never seen it, and nothing I've heard about it has really inspired any interest.

    Alert!

    "Progressive" and "Radical" Blogs on Blogger seem to be completely unavailable for over 10 hours.

    I am trying to get responses here, and come to a consensus. Are these being deleted?

    The following ".blogspot.com" sites are unavailable as of Saturday, Feb. 4, 4PM EST.

    http://gorillaintheroom.blogspot.com/
    http://xymphora.blogspot.com/
    http://spacetimecurves.blogspot.com/
    http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/
    http://jewssansfrontieres.blogspot.com/
    http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

    And many more.

    A casual use of the search function on the Blogger/Blogspot front page returns the sites in question.

    Conservative political sites also seem to still be "killed".

    Plenty of sites promoting cheese in salads , or announcing the purchase of new home electronics , seem to be available.

    Are we experiencing a crackdown? Is this a "service outage" anomaly?

    Oh, for the love of God. All of the blogs are back now. It was just a damn server problem. I'm sure if you looked around you would have found plenty of mundane blogs that were unavailable. But why miss an opportunity to jump to conclusions and scream "conspiracy!!!" all over the place.

    rigorousintuition "403"s still.

    I could get "Cheese Sandwich" and "Windows Mobile" blogs - but about 12-15 poli blogs I frequent were all down...
