Is this really a Shocking NEWS??!!

I was really surprised by and a little bit shocked as where yahoo is posting its own jobs...You might guess newspaper or "HotJobs" ...WRONG! IT IS ACTUALLY ON "CRAIGSLIST"
(check out the link).

We all know that craigslist is free to use, whether you want to sell your car, buy a new house or do whatever else you might want to do...but let's face it, craigslist is not one of the sites that has a reputation unlike yahoo and even google.

So is google using their service because it is free or is it really using it to get exposure to draw attention to of users who might not be familiar with yahoo services (HotJobs). In a way this seems shocking, but in a way it is a great awareness tool for yahoo.

I love Craigslist. I have found apartments, furniture, road trip mates and even internships. It's so simple to post and respond that I find the simplicity of it to be a great advantage.

I think it is ok. What is the problem if yahoo posted an add in Craiglist or even in other job search sites. I think if this would serve the company needs then what's the problem. I'm sure they posted the same job in hotjobs and also on other sites too.
Craiglist is great online tool and yahoo approved that.

Majid-

True it is OK...seems like that craigslist is trying to move up by using yahoo as its advertising agent.
