Snooze Watch: Craig’s List
Someone’s spellchecker must have changed Craigslist to Craig’s List in this informative news story.
Another gem:
When contacted by The News via e-mail on Thursday afternoon, a representative of Craig’s List asked for a link to the ad and asked that questions be submitted by e-mail. The representative didn’t respond to a second e-mail asking to be contacted by phone. The online bulletin board service is user-monitored, with anyone able to flag questionable postings for deletion.
Two points,
- The News didn’t link to the post in their first email.
- Maybe the Craigslist reply isn’t clear, but they want to answer questions by EMAIL. Not by phone. That you can do journalism via email doesn’t seem to connect.

@. I am enjoying Snooze Watch immensely, and have converted my coworkers to the “See what’s actually news on the front page!” game. It is a fun, and depressing, game.
#. Emma says we should distribute the nostalgia issue of Litost at the Book Co-op Sock Hop. I say this is an excellent idea.
$. Am way behind on Who, so don’t spoil me.
