Craigslist Reader Provides Easier Searching April 28, 2010
Craigslist Searching Made Easy
Craigslist has become an invaluable, if not sometimes frustrating, tool for many of us. It helps us find job or consulting opportunities, necessary technology and equipment for performing our work, and lots of other fun stuff that has nothing to do with work. But alas, it’s locally based and a pain to search multiple locations (though you can do it through Crazedlist which works best through Firefox).
Now you can search Craigslist nationally…or internationally…legitimately for those jobs you’re willing to move for or those items you just have to have but are located across the country.
Craigslist Reader
CraigsList Reader provides a deep search of Craigslist in a friendly Microsoft Outlook style. The app is intensely thorough: You can search any listing anywhere, set up notifications, change and save parameter options, and more.
CraigsList Reader works best for people who embark on epic searches of Craigslist’s database, as opposed to those who hope to pick out only a few tidbits. The program lets you categorize results, and helps you establish a variety of updates and notifications.
And best of all, it’s ok to use. Unlike Crazedlist - which when used for full-scale, across the universe type searches it can get you banned from Craigslist - CraigsList Reader is entirely legit. Search like a pro and search with confidence. Now you can truly find the lowest-priced Macbook or Gateway laptop available across the country if you can convince the seller that you’re not trying to scam them. Ok, so there are some things about Craigslist that this reader application won’t overcome, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
This application is available for download at http://find.pcworld.com/63354. Originally, it was available as an entirely free application, but it is now a trial version of a $37 product. If you’re an avid Craigslist enthusiast it may still be worth it to you. I personally have found thousands of dollars worth of consulting opportunities on Craigslist so if you have needs, the product price of $37 is probably not much of a concern.
