For that matter, craig stole the idea for his list right off the classified pages of the newspaper. Stop acting like craigslist is so special. It's ain't. For anywhere outside the top 15 metro areas, it downright sucks, with nothing at all to offer anybody.
The problem I have with Craigslist is the way Americans and Canadians pronounce the word Craig as 'kreg'. It so weird, I just don't understand how they get that pronunciation from the way its spelled. Its pronounced 'Crayg' if that makes any sense phonetically. Wackiness ahoy!!!
What's with Google attempting to pursue about 1400 different business directions? At first it was cool, now it's just annoying and makes them appear unfocused. Pick a couple core areas and stick with it.
Has anyone told Google that spreading yourself too thin usually ends in things snapping? Google will fall down somewhere. I'm not going to stand here and eulagise about them being evil and whatnot 'cause they have useful stuff, but also some of the way they operate and some of the things they have done do suck.

And if you want to digg my story on why bas.google.com is not like craigslist, here's the digg:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/software/Why_base.google.com_is_NOT_a_replacement_for_Craigslist_what_it_really_is">http://digg.com/software/Why_base.google.com_is_NOT_a_replacement_for_Craigslist_what_it_really_is</a>If not, cool, who cares - I just don't like it when people are misinformed like this, and it being on the frontpage of digg is going to make everyone think it's fact.

it is pretty broad from current events.. used car sales to databases of protein structures.. sounds more like a conglomerate of apps than just one

Google Base is cool... but craigslist is still a better option... Especially if you use this site's craiglist helper... <a class="user" href="http://cl.pixelspotlight.com/">http://cl.pixelspotlight.com/</a>Much better search results.
