Technology Tip: Online Classifieds


Technology Tip:

Online Classifieds

Have you ever looked through the classified ads?  Maybe you looked through to find a car, a job or some cheap furniture.  You can practically find anything in the classifieds.  It is familiar to all of us but it is also getting replaced by some new online resources.

Craigslist.org - This site was founded by Craig Newmark and is based out of San Francisco but has sites all around the world.  Along with thousands of classified ads it has several discussion groups.  Check out their factsheet for more information.  You might even have something you'd like to post.  All postings are completely free, you just have to log on with an email address and follow their rules.

Realtor.com - There are lots of real estate listing sources out there and this is currently the most popular one, but there are several others.  Need a house? Just want to check out the local market?  Search for Multiple Listing Service properties online.

Zillow.com - Here's another real estate source.  This site combines all kinds of publically available resources including satellite maps to give you a pretty good overview of a neighborhood.

Monster.com - One of many jobs websites that are on the internet.  Anyone from teaching to business can find a job on this website.

Your Local Paper – This one is a good online resource for your classified needs.  Don't forget to check out the online versions of local newspapers to see what they have to offer too as well! For example the Atlantic City Press is a good example of a local paper
