a study of craigslist
my friend and i decided it would be a good idea (dont know why) to post a fake ad up on CL (for all of those not addicted to mindless internet surfing during your work day that means craigslist). im not going to tell you what the ad was for (maybe that will come at a later time), but i will tell you, its is only day 1, and the anthropological study going down is already something to admire.
there are many things questions that come to mind about this.
1- how many people are actually looking at that posting at that very second.
2- how many people, out of those people are actually willing to respond.
3- how many people are spending their workday / time doing this. (how many of those people are public officials or teachers?)
4- how many people, even though not asked to, send pictures.
5- how many people are actually serious?
6- how many people actually have naked pictures of themselves floating around on their hardrives?
7- how many people have had a Geek Squad guy comes to fix their copmuters, and the reason its "broken" is because they haven't emptied their trash bin, and therefore it is clogged with their deleted naked pictures, and hence "broken" to them.
8- that last one is from a story from my friend who works for the Geek Squad. You wouldn't image how many people do that.
I swear, an entire semester worth can be done just studying peoples behaviors on craigslist. How there is a completely new culture created out of the ediquette expected of people interacting with complete strangers in this floating space of code and script. What the hell are our kids going to be like?
