Craigslist.com- Business Technology


Craigslist is an advertisement website that is useful in business or everyday life. Anyone may post an ad to the site in order to advertise services, job openings, real-estate, or anything else imaginable. For every ad posted, Craigslist generates an ad specific email address that forwards inquires to the poster’s private email address without giving it away to the public. The website is divided into sections, in order to make it easier for viewers to find what they are looking for, such as: Personal’s, Housing, For Sale, Services, Jobs, Gigs, and Resumes.

Businesses could post job openings, office buildings for sale, or even advertise their services via this website. They could also browse for potential employees or new office space for sale, as individual people, in addition to companies, may post to this site. Craigslist’s easy to use and navigate layout has made it very popular and well known, which makes this an ideal free advertisement venue for businesses. It is even possible to post advertisements in multiple cities and states. Viewers simply choose which state they would like to see advertisements for and then choose a city within that state. The only problem with this website is that it allows anyone to post basically anything that they want. Users need to be aware of this and use good judgment in order to avoid becoming a victim of a scam.

  1. Overall I found your information to be very informative. I do feel like a background color may help your page become more attractive to the eye.

  2. Your information is very good. The overall appeal of your sight is nice but I agree with Al and think a back ground color would spice it up. Since their is so much information maybe putting the 2nd paragraph into bullets would help with readability....just an idea?
