San Diego Craigslist Community Miss List Pic!

For the scoop on the Craigslist (owned by eBay!) versus Listpic war there is an interesting article from Wired.

Listpic is a web site that presented craigslist using displaying the pictures from the listings in a thumbnail layout. This saved time as you did not have to click on each posting to see the picture.

From the “About” page in Listpic:

“When looking for furniture on Craigslist, the main thing I wanted to do was browse through all the photos. I didn't know the exact furniture I wanted, but I knew what I liked once I saw it. I ended up clicking in and out of all the listings with pics. It took forever and made me go crazy! I stopped right there and thought to myself, there must be a better way of doing this”

Now Listpic is a competitor to Craigslist. Time will tell if they gain market traction.

I miss the the graphical view of Craigslist and regret that the parties could not work out their issues.
