Backpage.com vs Craigslist.org
I found this site today called Backpage.com - basically it looks and operates like Craigslist.org.
But, it did allow me to upload up to 4 images per listing and it had nice GUI interface buttons for bolding, underlining or italicizing my text; with Craigslist.org you have to know HTML to do that and type it in manually.
Also, it has a nice 'Manage Ad' button which allows you to easily edit and delete, yes I said DELETE your listing. Craigslist does not let you delete old postings for some reason which annoys the heck out of me.

craigslist does actually have post management options . . . if you post under an account.
so what's your take on the popularity and potential for the alt site that you mentioned (can't recall the name while I'm writing this). What's their pay structure - if any?
Well, you're right...if you have an active listing, you can edit and delete that listing. But, I have listings that have been denied or expired and I cannot delete those from my list. I can repost them if I like, but not delete them.
The new site is called Backpage.com - it looks and operates pretty much the same as Craigslist.org.
So far it is free - I have not seen anything on the site about prices.
