Craigslist is an online classifieds platform that allows users to post and browse advertisements for various goods and services. Founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark, it started as an email distribution list for local events in San Francisco and has since expanded to cover cities worldwide. Users can find listings for items like furniture, electronics, and vehicles, as well as job opportunities and housing. The website is organized into categories, making it easy for users to navigate and find what they need. While it is free to post most ads, some categories may require a fee. Craigslist has become a popular resource for buying, selling, and trading items locally.
