Craigslist is an interesting service. I have found some fairly good deals on Craigslist. However, sometimes I just get entertainment from how much people overvalue their things. Well now I can get all the kicks I want from the Craigslist Monitor 2.0.
As usual I will quote Wikipedia to get everyone caught up:
“Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, featuring free online classified advertisements – with jobs, internships, housing, personals, erotic services, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs, résumé, and pets categories – and forums on various topics.”
This Gadget provides a fine way to view all of the functions of Craigslist.com within a gadget. In fact I would almost say that it is better to use the gadget than the website. The reason I say that is because of the tabs. You are allowed three tabs within Craigslist Monitor 2.0. These tabs can be easily customized to feature any search term you desire. This is done in the settings menu. This basically allows me to keep a constant eye on those sections that matter to me.
I do have a few issues that while don’t ruin the gadget, could certainly improve it. For one thing it does take up more vertical space than I want. I believe that as long as there is a scrolling bar I could make due with seeing 4 or 5 lines of text at most, at a time. The other thing is that it is awkward to return back to your last page within your gadget. As far as I could tell there is no back button within the gadget. You can press the back button on your browser to actually go back within the gadget, but that is a far from elegant solution. Regardless Craigslist Monitor 2.0 is the best Craigslist gadget I could find.

In this summary of Craig’s List Monitor 2.0, the word “withing” is used several times. I’m not familiar with it; can you tell me what it means?

Woops. Thanks for the Tip Susan. Spell check seemed to have replaced “within” with “withing” which is odd because withing is not a word as far as I can tell. But anyways do you like the gadget?
