Another Craigslist posting. I think that guy who answers the question is slapping him self in the face with a pretty obvious reason why Craigslist is still around. The graphic with all the competing websites...I stopped counting after 10+

Seems like Craigslist has something for everyone. I could visit all those websites or just go to Craigslist. And not have to get around prompts/asks to tweet or like or share or spam my friends.

Furthermore, everyone has heard of Craigslist. Most of the listed competing websites are largely unknown outside of places like HN (where they have come up in startup discussions, not because people heard about their good products). Maybe 15% of the companies listed have any recognition by the general public.
