At first glance, www.craigslist.com seems to be a maze. “What kind of website is this?” you ask yourself.

If you did not have any prior information regarding www.craigslist.com, you will be completely lost. There is no explanatory introduction to the website and all you see is a list of US and international cities. You start getting a glint of light when you look at the left sidebar which headlines job boards, best-ofs, movie, etc. but still you are lost.

It is only when you select the item “factsheet” or once you click on any city on the list, that light pours down from above. www.craigslist.com is a community notice board that provides information about the location you are in or wish to go to, such as: housing and jobs available; community services like childcare, groups, lost & found, rideshare, pets etc; discussion forums; personal ads like looking for your life partner; as well as for sale and gigs columns. It posts local advertisements and classifieds as well as forums, so it is a useful source of information when you need to catch a glimpse of the kind of facilities and goings-on in that part of the world.

And if you have just moved into the area and need to know where to find beauty salons, automotive services, farming & gardening supplies/services, where to find a carpet installer or a housesitter and the like, this website provides all the answers.

If what you are looking for is not available in the town or city itself, www.craigslist.com also provides you with the nearest available such facility.

What is also useful is an event calendar for that locality that is displayed on the left sidebar. Clicking on the highlighted date brings you to all the events and classes that will be taking place on that day.
