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!

Site tools

blocked already , the erotic section.
good to know that we now have one =]
Crooger : it’s not blocked. what’s your ISP ?
there is “baby+kids” list under the “for sale” category… can we really sell them ??
Still sort of empty.
It’s just a few days old, wasn’t there like a week ago
FINALLY!
i spent one year studying in the us …. n i cant count how many times ive used it … simply amazinhg <3
Didn’t they get into bother last year for posting something linked with paedophelia?
Yep here’s the link

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
blocked! by Zain
the ero section was where they had ads for child prostitutes and got into trouble in may in the states
Awesome! Thought it’s not listed under countries.
@darkwolf80s: It’s basically a classifieds site. Pretty easy to use, though hideous to look at.
Thats is a very good article in Wired about why Craigslist looks the way it does.
god, I hated checking stuff on dubai site for gulf ads
not, we have kuwait and hope its improves over time
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.
@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….
erotic section is blocked ;/
i thinlk it will be closed soon…. why??
check out the PERSONALS column
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…
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
This won’t work, the Dubai one is extremely inactive and it has been around for a long time now.
interesting ;>
Mark, If someone contributed with a link or story, why not credit it to him / her ?
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.
YEEEEEAAAAAAH!
I think it is great I just got here a couple of months ago and hope it will help me to find things for my apartment. I hate to buy some things new and if someone else is leaving Kuwait then they may want to get rid of some of the same items I may need.
Hope it gets going and the word gets out. It is a great tool I used it in the states and had great results.
