Craigslist is a private, for-profit, company that operates and manages a collection of regional websites, specializing in free online classifieds and various forums1. Craiglist pays its bills by charging for classified Job Postings. They have a wide variety of topics and categories, including employment, various types of goods for sale, and services (from the mundane to the... adult-oriented, if you will).
The Buffalo regional website, Buffalo.Craigslist came online in Please Add.
If your organization, community, business, church, etc is listed in BufWiki and you post an entry on Craigslist, link your post to the appropriate page on BufWIki. If you are discussing a subject, for which BufWiki has good information, post a link to the BufWiki Article.
If you see something amusing (tasteful please) that is Oh So Buffalo, feel free to let our BufWiki community know.
