Opps - I thought I'd have Part II of the Adventure Travel story today but what Dan sent me was not more pictures of the
India trip to Ladakh but the same pictures twice. So I am somewhat unprepared with content this morning. However, something interesting always seems to pop up.
Craigslist is always a great source of bikes, parts, and other stuff like tools and pickup trucks. However, searching each and every craigslist is tedious if not a complete drag.
Searchtempest is a much better way to do this. Enter a ZIP code and a radius and it will search every craigslist in the area. It also has a better search engine that utilizes wild cards.
Allofcraigs takes a simpler approach. Enter a query term and it seems to search every category in every craigslist in the world. This can be good if you're searching for something obscure but is a bit like trying to take a sip from a fire hose if you search for "Honda". Luckily there is an Advanced Search filter to help narrow the results.
Try them out and let me know what you think. Got any others to recommend?

Congratulations! So, we now know you know how to create a Cliff Hanger...
ReplyDeleteA handy url for using on yahoo web forums or email lists and the like is www.tinyurl.com
It creates a "www.tinyurl.com/"
that translates the long string used by Craigslist or Ebay or any other site and you can go to that site by using the Tiny URL associated link. It's pretty cool.
