Digital Point buy/sell/trade

A good solution would be a grab-bad frame where people could put their favorite/much useful facbook links ( like a drop-down menu of some kind ). Other than that, I am sold.

Here is my full article on Facebook, as well as a response to people claiming that this was a reaction to the growing twitter popularity.

I was just aware that I was affected when I posted in the Services section of my town ( I do small-time advertising ) that I had to give over my phone number before I continue posting. I do not find this to be bad; if anything it does seem to have a positive effect on the relentless spamming and proliferation of pseudo-illegal posts in the Casual Ecounters and Erotic Services Sections ( Sections that have received heavy public scrutiny over the past few years ).

Where Craigslist will go from here I do not know; I think I understand the need to create the verification to prevent spam and to place responsibility on the poster ( If I made a website for people to post classifieds ads and they are posting illegal stuff, I would probably want some security system to keep me from being liable too.). I do also understand the prevalent fear of internet security, transparency, and the use of public information.

I feel people who even legitimately post on Craigslist ( I post in the Creative Services section ) may have 2nd thoughts about placing their number puiblicly for the sake of posting. I also am wary of being flagged and getting my number blacklisted, which the former has occured numerous times. We’ll see how this shapes up, but for now I see promise, direct results, but a hint of not-so-good situations to come from this.
