We only just finished our Hurricane Craig Tracker in time to watch the bitter end.
Did you see it? The change rolled through Florida all of last week. And it hit Texas on Friday. Today, all of the sudden, it went nation-wide and into Canada.
Dubbed Hurricane Craig, this change is a seismic shift in Craigslist's posting policy throughout North America. Many of the most commonly-used HTML tags in Craigslist are now disallowed. This includes images, tables, most text markup, and anything but the most bare-bones of links.
If you are posting to Craigslist, what does this mean for you?
Practically every Craigslist template ever written can now be put through the shredder.
Obviously, ShowMojo is here to help with items 2, 3, and 4. Really — when your prospects can schedule a showing online right from a Craigslist post — what better call to action can you possibly have?
We could launch into an eight-paragraph diatribe about how Craig Newmark took a beautiful and precious open market, added a gut-full of arrogance and hubris and stupidity, refused to listen to his customers and innovate, and ultimately nuked the crap out of it. But we'll restrain ourselves to that one run-on sentence.
Check out our video for more details on what really happened last week and how to survive in Craig's brave new world.
Stay safe out there everyone.
