A Better Way to Craigslist
Craigslist has become a hot spot to sell, buy and barter stuff. I think it may be safe to assume that most of us have heard of it and have used it at one time or another. The downside to Craigslist is that the user interface is pretty lame. There are always better ways to do things and now there is a better way to do Craigslist. It’s called Craiglook.com and it doesn’t change anything except the user interface. It pulls in all its information from Craigslist and is kept up to date daily.
The site is very user friendly and is basically organized the same as Craigslist. When you get to the home page you will see a search box at the top of the page and all the different categories that you can select from.
Getting Started
Once you enter in your search terms and location, you can check mark what categories to search or you can leave everything unchecked and search all categories.
Viewing Results
The results page will pop up and it almost has an “ebay” feel to it. But the results are listed with thumbnail pictures if available and a summarized description. Really beats having to click on a link to read a description and see pictures! Very convenient.
Item Details
The best part is that when you select an item you are interested in, Google Maps provides a small map with a drop pin of the items location.
If you are experienced or new to Craigslist. I think you will like this website. One thing to note is that whether you do a google search or go straight to the website by typing it into your web browser, it redirects to claz.org.

Bookmarked. Thank you for the article
You’re welcome!!!!
You have to mention that there are other sites out there to search craigslist, e.g. crazedlist.com, though Craiglook / Claz seem to be the best looking, and it seems to also pull listings from other classifieds sites …
Hey Mark,
There are always going to be other sites. I wrote about this one because it’s one that I use and I feel that the interface is user friendly and that other people would find it useful as well. But thanks for your input.
With such search result preview like claz.org has I will stop using craigslist at all. But they would expand the base of ads .. Nice stuff. Thank you.
You’re welcome! Glad you liked it. I’ve been using it myself ever since I discovered it.
