The San Francisco Citizen

This salesman shilling subscriptions to the actual dead tree paper version of the New York Times didn’t seem to get much traction during an otherwise bustling street fair in San Francisco over the weekend.

Something like 75% off and free New York Mets swag wasn’t enough to tempt the typical passerby. Perhaps if he could promise that a fetching scooter rider, such as this one, would deliver the paper each day, things would be different…

Cue tumbleweeds.

Who is to blame for the decline of newspapers? Is it San Francisco’s very own Craig Newmark and his feisty CEO buddy Jim Buckmaster? Well, you old-school newsies should be tickled pink to hear that the people behind craigslist are now worried about being taken over by eBay.

Not much consolation, but there it is.

You know all about craigslist. It’s always in the news. But what about the new AJAX powered search tool called crgslst? Does using RSS feeds this way violate the craigslist terms of service?

The approach used by Crgslst would allow for some nice improvements in the future. The question is whether or not Crsglst HAS a future. Check it out while you can.
