okay so everyone has needs right and no
I don't mean like eating or breathing I
mean like a place to sell your old
laptop or find a new roomie somewhere to
get a job or maybe even fall in love you
get the point sometimes you need an app
or a webpage to handle your personal
business
and sure Craigslist may be the gold
standard or whatever but it's also
starting to feel outdated and maybe the
anonymity could be a little dangerous so
where else can you go for Craigslist
services that aren't you know Craigslist
[Music]
one of the best features on Craigslist
is the housing section it allows users
to find roommates rentals sublet sand
well anywhere to rest your weary head
but if you can't find what you're
looking for spare room might be the
place for you with a service called
speed room ating in cities like New York
and LA the app connects users with
people who are also looking for a
perfect roommate also sites like Rooster
make Home Sharing as simple as listing
and filtering through potential
roommates do they have a filter for
roommates that will do their dishes
without being passive-aggressively
reminded so now you've got a place to
live but where are you gonna sell your
old beanie babies and lawn furniture
sure Craigslist has an array of sellers
and buyers but we still have a few great
and slightly less seedy options
available the first obvious choice is
Amazon Amazon has a selling option with
two subscription plans for individuals
and businesses for just 99 cents and
$39.99 respectively Amazon keeps the
vending process simple and cost
efficient alternately you can check out
Facebook it's not just for fake news
anymore
Facebook has its own marketplace for
anyone to buy and sell items locally
with these options your relationship
with Facebook might go from it's
complicated to obsessed
and speaking of relationship statuses
you know I said at the beginning that
people have needs and this one might be
yours no shame
but Craigslist personal ads are gone so
what can you do about finding your one
true love or maybe just to hook up
happen is similar to missed connections
on Craigslist and tries to reconnect you
with the one that not
maybe you saw them on the train or in a
coffee shop or talking to that person
who's not as cute as you but there's a
catch the person you're looking to find
also has to be a happen member either
way you get to cross paths again and
hopefully get married have kids two dogs
a house a yard a fence or not and if
you're looking for something a little
less romantic comedy ask you can look
for a quick romance on apps like tinder
hinge Grindr Bumble and about a hundred
others that are let's just say less
reputable now you may end up with a few
more tabs open than you would with
Craigslist but ultimately you'll have a
safer and more efficient answer to your
personal needs good luck out there
