Thing #6

And...the winner of the Jessica choosing Award is....Craigslist!

Craigslist is an interesting interactive website that covers anything from jobs, cars, pets ,jobs wanted/selling, housing, just about anything that expands all over the world. Something I don't like about this certain web 2.0 tool is that if someone isn't careful, they can be scammed, lose a great deal of money, or worse. Anyone that uses this site for selling or buying needs to meet in a public, populated place, maybe with more than one person with you. However, what is good with the site is that people that need to sell or buy things, or merely discuss items that are currently on the market have a place to blog or set up a place to meet, and even if they are a few cities or states away. I do not think that craigslist will ever be in a school or library setting with the teacher's consent. This is more of an 18 year old or up site as the things on the site can be slightly dangerous and more mature than what a child should see. More often than not though, the site is just simply a place to discuss buying and selling items and then meeting up to exchange or buy/sell.
