Hi

I hadn't used Craiglist in quite some time and this morning I was
pleased to discover they use OSM:
- - On their home page: http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites
- - When posting an ad, to ask for location:

- - When dispolaying an ad, to indicate location:
http://montreal.fr.craigslist.ca/sys/3986212631.html

Apparently this started last year, gradually:

Most importantly, they were a Diamond sponsor at the State of the Map
conference in San Francisco, and they are hiring people that know OSM:

I am not sure where I was looking but I never noticed that!

I thought I'd share this here as sometimes it's useful to mention
known websites / services that use OSM.

Cheers,

Fabian
