The well known classifieds site, Craigslist, has always been simple yet, outstanding. Other web services changed their content to AJAX, and Flash, while Craigslist kept the same design since the beginning. The site has kept people coming back for some time now, so there hasn’t been much need for change.

Craigslist has been in the news over the last few weeks for unpleasant reasons, so it’s in good reason that Craigslist now has an official blog where CEO Jim Buckmaster can post his thoughts.

Here’s the interesting thing, Buckmaster is discussing the hot issues of the day on the blog, and engaging with his audience directly. Users can even leave comments on blog posts (although not on the same page as the post). But the blog still feels old school. It has a plain layout, and there’s not even an RSS feed. Welcome to the 21st century Craigslist!
