JaXed wacked - another Craigslist search engine bites the dust......

Looks like Ebay is going to shut them all down.

Is it a tough piece of code?  What would it take write your own routine?    (Of course there's probably something out there already)





Aug 26, 2011 20:26:27 :  Craigslist sends C&D to jaxed.com
By: jaXed
The jaXed Mash has been presented with a "CEASE AND DESIST UNLAWFUL MISUSE OF CRAIGSLIST" from attorneys representing Craigslist. In the C&D, The jaXed Mash was cited for violating the Craigslist Terms of Use. Cragislist has demanded that The jaXed Mash remove all Craigslist listing titles, and cease to index Craigslist listings in the future.

At this time, we are removing all Craigslist links from The jaXed Mash.

We know most of you come here specifically to search for stuff nationwide in the US and Canada. It is unfortunate that we will not be able to offer Craigslist as a source of data any longer.

The next few days and weeks we will be looking at merging new sources of data into The jaXed Mash. It makes sense to find smaller niche sites and forums and work with those sites to bring their listings to The jaXed Mash. If you know of any sites that you would like The jaXed Mash to index, drop us a line via Email, Facebook or Twitter (@jaxed).

I wonder why Craigslist just doesn't add a nationwide search? The competition would be obliterated. Obviously there's a demand for it.

Ebay bought Craigslist.  A Craigslist nationwide search competes (for free).  I guess, strategically, it's the right move,,,,,for ebay.   But it sucks for us.

Check that.  Ebay owns at least 25% of Craigslist.

Thanks Tan Top.  I use it too.  But,  it looks like it's just a matter of time.

either here or on the first gen site someone put up a web address that would do a nationwide search for what you want, and it wasn't this place.  i lost the link and haven't used it in a while but it worked for an easy 6 months for me.   there must be more out  there right???

Sounds like a retarded business model. Why would you want to piss off your customers?
