In the Midwestern US (Targeted First at Missouri) I run a new Startup called MidwestAds.Net (Launched 10/1/08). It is similar to Craigslist, but contains no Adult content, No Dating Ads, and has a Place where Churches can list their service times and directions, etc…

It includes all the basic Employment/Community Events/Real Estate/Autos/Etc…

Let me know what you think…

Thanks

@Ryan: It isn’t blocked for me and works fine.

It is blocked ?! When did that happen. Stupid CL doesnt want to be better, or something. Reminds me of a stubborn old person that is resistant to change.

Wow.. .what a difference in searching through the plain text of craigslist. This makes me love AJAX even more than I did in the past. Great post!

Jamie.. thanks for that heads up. I checked it out and my initial thought was that it was a spam site. But, after playing with it I am learning to like the interface. Maybe I’ll post about it soon.

The best classified system to me is http://cl.radiux.com.

Bonanzle.com is a new marketplace site with a pretty face, that is another great alternative to Craigslist. It doesn’t actually use Craigslist listings (meaning it isn’t going to disappear tomorrow, unlike Crgslst, which is no longer online), but you can import the Craigslist items you’re selling to Bonanzle.

Hope you’ll try it. See http://www.bonanzle.com/blogs/5

Thanks for the link. I need to try that out, because I am on Craigslist just about every day looking the dream house that I will never be able to afford. And, hey, I found a racquetball partner on there once too. I do like the simplicity of the site (there’s a reason I search with Google instead of Yahoo :), but this does speed up the search process on CL.

Troy.. that’s artificial intelligence working here in ShanKri-la. Not. I did search this morning to see if I had posted about Craigslist before to deep link and my caching plugin must have cached this page with the highlighting. I deleted the cache and it’s gone now. Must happen on other similar occasions too.. hmm will have to see if this such a bad thing or take it up to the plugin authors to see if there is a fix. Thanks for alerting me buddy!

Crgslst rocks and I hope they stay afloat unlike the previous tries by other alternatives.

Sorry about double posting, but it looks like your search highlighting is showing up for regular visitors. When I went to Shankrila.com and clicked the permalink title for this post, I got to the post with all the words Craigslist on the page (including in the comments) highlighted in orange, and all the words Alternative highlighted in green, along with this message at the top
“Google Search Results

You arrived here after searching for the following phrases:

* 2008
* craigslist
* alternative

Click a phrase to jump to the first occurrence, or return to the search results.
”

It’s odd, because I didn’t search at all but came here directly.

I’ve been playing with this and I’ve got to admit it is much nicer than the original Craigslist. Nice find K!
