Were these legitimate offers, or simply pranks?The ad stated the purpose of hiring the writers was to "help balance the left-wing bias of the major media outlets."The ad, complete with spelling errors, instructed interested applicants to submit a 100-word post, based on the headline "Ignatieff Promises No Coallitions (sic) after Election."The posting appeared on the website in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Halifax.Craigslist staff removed the advertisement during the day — but another one appeared soon...

As the moniker suggests, they’re not rational. Techno-panic is about imagined or trumped-up threats, often with a tenuous, coincidental, or potential relationship to the Internet. Adam Thierer and Berin Szoka of the Progress & Freedom Foundation have written extensively about techno-panics on the TechLiberationFront blog. Talking about techno-panic does not deny the existence of serious problems. It merely identifies when policymakers and advocates lose their sense of proportion and react in ways that fail to address the genuine issues—such as censoring a web site because it reveals the fact that...

The link to that section of the site now stands with a “CENSORED” label over the place where the link stood. On the TechLiberationFront blog, Ryan Radia has a good write-up, including the legal protections Craigslist enjoys under federal law as a provider of an “interactive computer service.” The AGs undoubtedly know that could not directly shut down Craigslist. They wouldn’t have a legal leg to stand on if they attacked the site for the behavior of its users. But they also know that publically badgering Craigslist can win ...

Markoff, 22, was also suspected in the robbery of a Las Vegas woman.

He started with an old cell phone, then used Craigslist to trade his way to an iPod. Then to some dirt bikes, then a few cars and trucks, and eventually, a Porsche. The whole process took him two years, and, obviously, a lot of patience. He’s also living a pretty green life. He didn’t waste anything — he always found someone who needed what he had. Would you have the patience to trade online for two years with a goal in mind? We never thought that driving a Porsche could be eco-friendly, but now we’re having second thoughts. via Auto In The News Post from: BlissTree Eco-Friendly Online Trading: From Cell Phone to Porsche In 2 Years (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3772209 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:54:50 +0100 3772209 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3511514&cid=t_120673_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fpoll-of-the-day-should-craigslist-make-money-off-sex-ads%2F The New York Times reported yesterday that Craigslist, the popular online classifieds site, is making millions of dollars from its controversial sex advertisements. According to their article, the site is set to increase revenue by 22% in 2010 thanks to the ads, making an expected $36 million off the ads alone (Craigslist refuses to volunteer specific information, but those projections were estimated by Advanced Interactive Media Group). The ads provoke all kinds of opponents: some who simply don’t want to see sex ads when they’re looking for an apartment sublet; others who argue against the moral standing of ads that sell sex services. Many human rights groups say that Craigslist has become a number one outlet used by human traffickers to sell sex services of women and girls a...

(8:00, ESPN2 “USA! USA! USA!”) Wanting to avoid the hassle of selling the tickets at RFK, I placed an ad on Craigslist offering them at cost, figuring I might find a taker and arrange to hand them off downtown today or at the stadium tonight. Checking email as I walked to the gym, I found an inquiry about the tickets and phoned the guy, who happened to live 100 feet from where I was walking. A few minutes later, he had the tickets and I had the cash. This quaint story is a single data point in a trend line—the high-tech version of It’s Getting Better All the Time. Everyone living ...

There are people looking for a kidney… Are you A or O blood type? Nun -Sister Theresa in need of a kidney! And people wanting to give their kidney away… I want to donate my kidney.
