Craigslist Kuwait
I’ve always wanted Craigslist to open a Kuwait section and it looks like they just did. Check kuwait.craigslist.org, they’ve even kept the erotic section which should be interesting!

Ok this may sound like a noob question but how exactly does Craigslist work in general? Yo ninesixfive since you’ve been using it before could explain how the system works? PM me on the forums. Thanks.

Mish :
the ero section
12. moe80s | September 19th, 2009 at 12:13 am
blocked! by Zain
13. thingsthatannoyme | September 19th, 2009 at 12:34 am
the ero section was where they had ads for child prostitutes and got into trouble in may in the states
14. samurai | September 19th, 2009 at 12:57 am
Awesome! Thought it’s not listed under countries.
@darkwolf80s: It’s basically a classifieds site. Pretty easy to use, though hideous to look at.
15. Mark | September 19th, 2009 at 1:00 am
Thats is a very good article in Wired about why Craigslist looks the way it does.
16. lunardream | September 19th, 2009 at 3:34 am
god, I hated checking stuff on dubai site for gulf ads
not, we have kuwait and hope its improves over time
17. Fa | September 19th, 2009 at 3:36 am
The latest issue? I left mine on my desk and it magically disappeared
To everyone saying parts of it are already blocked; they always have been, the casual encounters section of the site was blocked for every city previously.
Plus I’m pretty sure they block by metatag and don’t go through and manually block every single site, that’s what the complaint feature is supposed to address. Correct me if I’m wrong

You wasted no time posting this after I sent you the link last night. You’re good..keep up the good work and this is definitely now of my my favorite blogs.
19. samurai | September 19th, 2009 at 7:08 am
@Mark: I didn’t read the article but the simple fact is that they didn’t invest any effort into the look and feel of craigslist at launch. Later, they were too hesitant to do a redesign because regular users would get bamboozled by the change.
In any case, even though it looks hideous, content is really what classifieds comes down to and craigslist has no serious competition yet.

Kuwait seriously lacks a good classified listing site….closest was 248am. I hope they have a huge list….
21. 3azeez | September 19th, 2009 at 11:41 am
erotic section is blocked ;/
22. faisal | September 19th, 2009 at 11:58 am
i thinlk it will be closed soon…. why??
check out the PERSONALS column
23. Mark | September 19th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
samurai: its an interesting article and wired had 3 or 4 people present redesigns for craigslist. According to the founder though a redesign is not something people are asking for so if its not broken why fix it…
24. talli | September 19th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
you guys should check out gumtree….its pretty much like craiglist but more UK oriented(though now they are in many other cities worldwide too!!)….and the interface is MUCH MUCHH BETTER….chek it out at gumtree.com
25. gunsmoke | September 19th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
This won’t work, the Dubai one is extremely inactive and it has been around for a long time now.
26. CBA Guy | September 19th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
interesting ;>
27. Realist | September 19th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Mark, If someone contributed with a link or story, why not credit it to him / her ?
28. Mark | September 19th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Realist: For someone thats been checking my blog for a long time I am surprised you think I don’t. I always give credit unless people contribute with the nickname anonymous.
