Craig's list is an online classified ad site. You can find ads for jobs, merchandise, events, personals, pretty much anything. You can search pretty much any major city plus other countries. You can list or review other ads.

AB, that's nonsense. Craigslist is not just for people who offer/seek housing.
Craigslist offers everything: job positions, message boards, resumes, services, everything.
Next time, AB, when you answer to someone's question, make sure you give the correct answer and not an incomplete one.
