Very nicely done. I take it this is running on Google App Engine ? (Just a guess, based on the Google Account signup).

No need to market it as just for rural locations. In the UK we have Gumtree for example, which is a serious competitor to Craigslist. While I agree to some extent with the idea of Craigslist's simplicity, I think it is becoming long in the tooth and unwilling to consider new ideas, and it's time for a decent, usable replacement.

Some IP-based geolocation would be nice. And some localization: "yard sale" and "apartment" for example are US terms. But that's nitpicking, which is a good sign :-)

Nope running at Linode. Postgres/postgis and mod_perl on the back end sending JSON to the UI rendered in javascript.

Thanks for the information on Gumtree. I will look at that.
