Craigslist Launches a Blog

Posted on April 3, 2008

Craigslist has launched a new blog. Michael Arrington at TechCrunch notes that Craiglist founder Craig Newmark used to put Craiglist news on his personal blog before the launch of this new blog.

There are already several posts up on the new blog all posted by Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster. There is a funny entry that says a Monster.com truck has been playing loud music outside their offices - probably not funny if you are trying to get work done at Craiglist. Another post discusses the company's green efficiency. They also have a post that says Craiglist is hiring.

The blog has a very plain design much like the main Craiglist website. Download Squad says the blog "feels very 1999." There does not appear to be an RSS feed available for this new Craiglist blog. Fortunately, ReadWriteWeb created one.
