O Craigslist, My Craigslist

As of late, I've been a huge habitué of Craigslist. It's an all-encompassing conglomeration of listings sure to fulfill any need users have for entertainment, gigs, drugs, housing, or personal connections. The website swarms with controversy as it continues to push the barrier of political correctness and social comfort through transsexual erotic services ads, people posting free Bibles because they "don't believe in that stuff anymore, but if you do here you go," and rants and raves on the President, taxes, whatever. I really see Craiglist as a tool for social progress... of course in an encrypted "it's not supposed to be that way" kind of way.

On my search for other Craigslist fans, I learned about a man named Michael Ferris Gibson. Gibson, a San Francisco native, was captivated by Craigslist when the website was still newborn. He browsed every section, contacting users through their anonymous emails requesting authorization to follow them through their listing experiences. The resulting documentary, 24 Hours on Craigslist, was completed in 2005 and featured in nine film festivals, winning "best feature documentary" along the way. So, learn about the joys of Craigslist, or perhaps depths of it you never knew existed. Enjoy!
