We all know Craigslist is a great way to find whatever you need, be it cheap electronics, free firewood, hookers, apartments for rent, a job—just about anything you could ask for. But Craigslist’s great power comes at a great price: your time, which is spent digging through a bunch of garbage to find that one diamond in the rough.
Enter Listpic. Although it doesn’t get rid of all the crap on the ‘List, it’s a lot more fun to look at than the boring text-only Craigslist listings, and it should help you find only the items that are visually appealing to you. Just click a category on the main page (it’s laid out almost exactly like the main page for your local Craigslist), and you’ll get thumbnail after thumbnail displaying all of the items in that category that have pictures attached. Click one, and the whole listing is overlaid on the screen. It’s great if you’re seeking a new apartment, thinking about a new (used) care, or looking for some real estate. A nice bit of Ajax flair even lets you resize the thumbnails on the fly.
X = 7.3: simple and useful, especially if you use the ‘List a lot, but definitely not vital if you’re only an occasional user.
