Track A Craigslist Category In a Feed Reader

2009 January 22

Many people opt out of using an online want ads service like Craigslit.org citing that it may be unsafe, etc.  Point taken.  However, if you ARE one of those people who like to find deals in the wants ads and know how to practice safe browsing and dealing, then I have a tip for you!

The other day I was looking around the local craigslistings in the free and computer categories and I noticed the infamous RSS symbol at the bottom of the page.

As it turns out, if you are into keeping up with internet content via RSS, Craigslist affords you a good way of keeping an eye on your favorite categories!  Are you looking for a computer?  Subscribe to the “computers & tech” category.  Are you looking for a dinning room set?  Subscribe to the “furnature” category.

Once you subscribe using your favorite reader (I use Google Reader), all you need to do to check out the latest postings is to head to your reader and you can get a “bird’s eye” view of the latest!

Perhaps this has been around for awhile, but I think it’s pretty cool so I thought I’d pass on the word!
