CRAIGLIST’S UNDISCOVERED TALENT
Craiglist has become a go-to resource for people to find used cars, bicycles, and garage sales items at competitive prices. There are also some very “interesting” sections such as missed connections and discussion forums about various subjects.
Beyond being the modern evolution of the newspaper classifieds, Craigslist also provides some of the most entertaining and creative writing I have ever read.
Some Craiglisters display a phenomenal descriptive talent that are used to sell boring or unique items, as well as paint vivid tails of missed connections in hopes that they will reconnect in a fairy tale situation. The real choice ads are voted on by Craislister in hopes to promote them to the now famous Best-of-Craigslist section.
I have no doubt that if some of these people wrote ads, we would all enjoy more laughs from ads.
Here are some great examples:
Guitarist for Metal Band
Coffee Table of the Gods
Naked on the 6 Train: m4m
Thank me later.
