If you’ve ever heard of [craig's list] then you’ll be very comfortable with this website. The equivalent really for the UK really, although, like craig’s list, expansion is ongoing to other areas in the globe.

For the uninitiated, craig’s list and gumtree are sites that create an online community, based around your location. If you can imagine a free-ads, lonely hearts, job paper, property paper all rolled into one, just for your area, updated daily. The content is provided by the community, obviously with a selling slant (either products or services.) I found myself browsing my area not really looking for anything, but being really interested in what was being offered. From a 15 year old girl advertising dog-walking expertise to a company looking for somebody to join a newly-created web design team. All really compelling and useful stuff.

The other good thing is it looks a damn sight better than craig’s list too..! =)
