The firefox plugin looks especially interesting because I love plugins which enhance sites I already use.

Last year I worked with a developer on a project called ShareThisPost. Its a social network for CL. It uses greasemonkey and allows you to create a network of friends to share your craigslist postings with and make comments on postings. Check it out at….http://www.jeffpalm.com/sharethispost/about/

I don’t know about Jas’ script, but I did find this free Greasemonkey script:

Or you can just use a Craigslist alternative that already looks good without using third party hacked tools:

http://www.bonanzle.com

Has tripled its traffic every month since going public in June, currently has about as many items as Seattle Craigslist.

Hey thanks for mentioning CraigsLittleBuddy =)

I was pretty bummed when they banned me. It’s really ridiculous since I had no plans to monetize. Eh…

I actually thought pretty hard about giving the source code away so that other people could just launch clones of the site but I figured they’d just sue me. LOL

Thanks a bunch for the mention!

Well, I think it is awsome you don’t feel the need to reply to one of the first few comments (couldnt resist)

But seriously, CL has continued to maintain their DATA SILO (AKA WALLED GARDEN) for long enough while espousing user-centric values.

Perhaps they are simply worried about brand, but the potential to mashup CLs data would be enormous of they would come out with an open API ala twitter.

I find it interesting that such a simple app like Craigslist is so popular, just goes to show that sometimes simple is best as I’m a huge fan of the site. I hope these two new apps have a lot of success as well as they seem to add value.

ya, cause the people that created CraigsToolbox aren’t doing the same thing you are pissed about or anything.

Give it up…

Yes, douchebag, the sky is falling. And you are still making reply comments to the first post to promote your spam directory which is a Ning site. You have no tech, no idea what NLP is or how to implement anything.

You are a washed up LAPD (a cop) on disability, and your “get rich quick” bullshit is an abomination.

These are great tool for people searching on CL, but there are also some tools out there for people posting on Craigs List. Glitzr is a cool tool that lets you create rich media ads for your listing. http://www.glitzr.com
