Website of the Day: Craigsly
If you've ever kept careful watch for an item on Craigslist, you know what it's like to obsessively refresh the page waiting for that coveted item to appear. Enter Craigsly, a site that keeps an eye on Craigslist for you, presumably freeing up a good portion of your day you would have otherwise spent on Craigslist.
Here's how it works: visit Craigsly and enter keywords for the item you're looking for, the city where you're trying to find it in, categories it might appear in, and your email address.
Confusing Technology Doesn't Pass in Post Grad
I just saw the college graduation comedy Post Grad starring Alexis Bledel and like Buzz, I thought the movie was also quirky and cute, but I had a few quibbles with the technology.
First, there must have been some sort of MySpace deal for placement, because it opens with Bledel's character Ryden posting a video blog getting live video comments on a very fancy-looking MySpace UI. I haven't been on the 'Space for a while now, but I'm pretty sure this is not the latest redesign.
Have You Ever Purchased Tech From Craigslist?
Although the entries are few at the moment, I'm expecting to see a boatload of PS3s for sale on Craigslist soon. With the Sept. 1 launch of the PS3 Slim, you can bet that gamer geeks who like to stay on top of the console movement will be unloading their old models to make room (or should it be make less room?) for the newest edition.
Website of the Day: HousingMaps
If you're house hunting, Craigslist can be a great resource for finding a sweet rental property. But once you're inside Craigslist, you usually have to click around Google Maps to find the whereabouts of online listings. Not anymore!
Website of the Day: Item Not as Described
We Craigslist aficionados are familiar with the crap post — pictured items for sale that make you scratch your head and wonder why someone would ever take the time to list something so lame.
The website Item Not as Described takes that concept and mines it for laughs, and what you get is a collection of amazing free items listed on Craigslist — and I don't mean "amazing" sincerely, I mean it's amazing these people think they can give this stuff away. Dirty stuff, broken stuff, rotten stuff — it's all there.
Weird Al Draws Inspiration From Craigslist For New Single
I have a secret — I used to listen to Weird Al on a loop when I was younger, and still have a soft spot in my heart for his parodies. I mean, come on, "White and Nerdy"? I die.
Daily Tech: More Jillian Michaels Fitness Games on the Way
- Looks like Majesco is getting ready to release Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2010 and Jillian Michaels' Pocket Trainer 2010. — Joystiq
- We may not be overly enthused about its new Della website, but we are excited about this! Dell has just adopted a ban on exporting e-waste as part of its policy.
The 10 Best Online Job Search Sites
In this economy, it's pretty likely that some of you are out of a job. But if heading into your cube farm made you cry every morning, and you can't stand the idea of doing it all over again from the bottom up, then take this time off to really find what it is you're looking for in a job. Then get cracking.
