I love craigslist. I’ve bought a lot of stuff from there, found my apartment there, and gotten a good majority of my work from there over the past couple of years. Since I work mostly as a freelancer, and being that the type of work I do doesn’t necessarilly require working an office, I would go around to all the different craigslist cities and serch for posts for flash work. I got tired of wasting time going around to each differnt city’s site though, so I wrote a php script that will allow you to enter a keyword and search all the different cities at once (ok, right now it only searches LA, NY, San Diego, San Francisco, Honolulu, Chicago. and Seattle). You can choose any category to search in as well. I’m calling it “craigsearch”. It’s obvioulsy still being developed, and there will be updates soon, such as being able to select which cities to search (intead of having to go through them all).
