The community website Craigslist.org has become one of the most popular sites on the internet, boasting 10 million active users and 3 billion pages views per month. ’24 Hours on Craigslist’ documents a random day-in-the-life on Craigslist San Francisco, where what has evolved into the world’s largest community board began back in 1995.
