Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, featuring free classified advertisements (with jobs, internships, housing, personals, erotic services, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs, resume, and pets categories) and forums on various topics.
The service was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area. After incorporation as a private for-profit company in 1999, Craigslist expanded into nine more U.S. cities in 2000, four each in 2001 and 2002, and 14 in 2003. As of September 2007, Craigslist had established itself in approximately 450 cities in 50 countries.

Craigslist is great but it has a "cold war" style interface that could use a facelift. |

I like Craigslist, but admit that the site could be improved - search, UI

I don't think I even knew about that!
Yeah, most people in the US don't know about eBay's classified called kijiji. It's focusing mainly in markets Craigslist isn't as strong in, including outside the US.
