We love craigslist. Many pieces of our current lives, including our current apartment, came together through craigslist. But we've often wished the UI (user interface) was a little more user-friendly. Endlesly clicking and browsing through multiple listings individually, some with pics and some without, to find the Perfect Thing for Very Little Money can really eat into living one's life.

I was suprised they stuck ads on the page. That will surely put the issue over the edge. Not only are they using CL bandwidth (source of images is craigslist.org) but they are putting ads over top. Left as a free service without ads they might have an argument for staying, but this is simple leechware.

I'm sure CL has the ability to do this but they don't care to pay for the bandwidth necessary (hint, hint, Listpic). Alex on Oct 9, 2006

Well, they've humbly asked similar initiative to cease & desist in the past; I doubt this will be any different. The last one that I remember loving, was the guy that made the site to browse all Craigslist at once. It was a great asset but was quickly quelled by Craigslist.

This for one is a huge tax load on their bandwidth and that alone will probably dictate their fate.
