It seems that meeting women on Craigslist is a lot like Lays Potato Chips – betcha can’t meet just one. Meeting women for casual sex on Craigslist is so easy – so addicting – that it seems to cause all reason and logic (not to mention fidelity, honor and decency) to fly out of men’s heads. In fact, we fully expect to see Craiglist Rehab Clinics dotting the nation within the next few years. The most recent public downfall related to Craigslist cheating through Craigslist personals is that of New York Republican Representative Christopher Lee, who resigned this week after it was reported that the married Lee was trying to meet women through Craigslist.

Craigslist has apparently decided that the adult version of Craigslist personals – i.e. the ads in the “Adults services” (formerly known as “erotic services”) section of Craigslist, just weren’t worth the hassle. Craigslist has officially shut down the adult erotic services section of the various Craigslists – but only in the United States. The adult services section of the Craigslist sites has certainly seen its share of problems, including the pre-trial suicide of the so-called Craiglist Killer, Philip Markoff, who was charged with killing a prostitute that he’d picked up through her Craigslist ad.

Now that Craigslist no longer has “adult services” listings, people can get back to the business of using Craigslist for things like buying stuff, selling stuff, and finding rentals. This is all well and good, but Craigslist separates all of their listings by geographic location, in fact often by very localized location. What if you want to expand your search? What if you want to search all of Craigslist at once? Fortunately for us all, there are three different ways that allow you to quickly and easily search all of Craigslist, so that you can search all Craigslist listings at once. So here’s how to search all of Craigslist at once.

Online scams are nothing new, and Craigslist (named after founder Craig Newmark, hence Craig’s list) has always had its fair share. Perhaps the most insidious of the Craigslist scams are those which appear to be legitimate replies to Craigs list postings – after all, while many consumers are wary of what they read online, most can’t imagine that a scammer would take the time to personally reply to them! In this particular scam, the email comes from twanachausse16@aim.com on behalf of TLP Research.

A Federal court has dismissed the prostitution lawsuit brought against Craigslist by Chicago’s Cook County Sheriff’s Department and Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart. Sheriff Dart had argued that because the Craigslist erotic services section helps to arrange meetings between hookers and johns, and steers people to places where they can pay for erotic services, Craigslist is in violation of laws against prostitution, and that it should be shut down. Dart added that “the sheer number of daily postings has made it impossible to stymie Craigslist generated prostitution.”

Internet classifieds giant Craigslist is cracking down on advertisers who use the Craiglist “erotic services” section to pimp themselves or others.

Starting some time early this morning, it appears that all images hosted by Craigslist are unavailable. Moreover, it seems that the problem is not localized, but happening all over the United States. The problem is that the server which Craigslist uses to host its images – images.craigslist.org – is unreachable.

Melanie McGuire has been dethroned as holder of the “most stupid use of the Internet for criminal activities” by Ann Marie Linscott, who posted a help wanted ad on Craigslist seeking a hit man to kill her lover’s wife.

A scam hoax on Craigslist has led to a Tacoma woman, Laurie Raye, having everything stripped – even the fixtures – from one of her houses. It all started with a seemingly genuine post on the popular Craig’s list site.

Perhaps in keeping with their desire to be at the fore of the online dating frontier, it seems that Facebook is allowing profiles that are overtly sex ads. Or perhaps they just are eight years late to the rush to fill the void for online erotic services that was left when Craigslist shut down their ‘Adult services’ section.

As we have noted a couple of times in the past few weeks, spammers and scammers are using the email mailing list confirmation process to send spam. Here’s how that works: someone signs up for a mailing list, and then replies to the confirmation request with their spam. In this case, Amy Happy at amy41211@letmailer.com, seems to be replying to a confirmation message that she, in fact, never received in the first place.

Fake + Instagram = Finstagram. A Finstagram account (or, as the in kids call it, their ‘finsta’) is a second, fake Instagram account that people use to post those pictures that they don’t really want publicly associated with them. You know, embarrasing photos, slutty videos, you get the idea.

In our recent article on using your Amazon Echo to control home automation, along with how to get it to do countless other things using IFTTT recipes, we gave you a tutorial on how to create an IFTTT recipe, using posting the name of the song you are listening to on your Echo as a status update on Facebook. Here is a complete list of the services that you can connect your Amazon Echo to via IFTTT recipes.

The word “selfie” has made it into the Oxford Dictionary. Yes, selfie (or “selfy”) is now officially a word. Not only that, but of all the words that made it into the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) this year, selfie is the word of the year!

The Internet protests to the proposed anti-piracy bills SOPA and PIPA, including the ‘blackouts’ by sites like Wikipedia, and protest-filled homepages of sites like Craigslist, have had a real impact. So real, in fact, that the status of SOPA and PIPA is that they are now effectively dead.
