Craigslist in Kansas City
Craigslist is a network of online communities that features classified ads of different categories, from cars, housing, and employment to pets, barters, and personals. It also hosts discussion forums on just about any topic.
Kansas City, Missouri has its own Craigslist community of course but this online network was actually founded in the San Francisco Bay Area by a software engineer named Craig Newmark. Craigslist expanded into nine more cities in the US and eventually reached Vancouver, Amsterdam, Bangalore, Tokyo, Sao Paulo, and Paris before gaining online popularity in the rest of the world. Today, there are 450 Craigslist sites in all 50 US states and more than 50 countries worldwide. In a month, about 30 million people use the network and more than 25 million classified ads are posted.
