Craiglist Starts a Blog
Just as Craigslist is streamlined and basic, so is there blog. And like the site itself, it’s entertaining and useful. Just a simple http://blog.craigslist.org. Their branding is no branding. It’s programmer chic. It’s boring in design but rich in content.
It breaks the rules (because they have such a strong reputation and that lets you break or bend a lot of rules that most business must abide by. This goes for you too.).
It is new, but so far….
- no SEO
- no fancy design
- no sidebar
- no ads
- no Wordpress (the standard) or accompanying plugins
- no social media aspects
It DOES accept comments but they go to the Craigslist blog section of a forum, lol. One last thing, the CEO is a hippie, 6 foot 7 inches tall, who used to make tofu at a commune while in college. Here’s a plug for self-expression.

Have you followed the drama on the unofficial Craiglist blog. For a company that is so anti-corporate they sure are using underhanded corporate tactics.
