Boston.com / Business / Technology / For Craigslist, city was just the ticket

September 13, 2004 Hadley Weinzierl used Craigslist to furnish her Jamaica Plain apartment , and when she bought a Maltese puppy, she sought advice from fellow Craigslisters on a good vet, a cheap dog-walker, and a park where she could let the dog run without a leash.

Laurie Comer has traded Red Sox , Prince, and ''Lion King" tickets on the site, and her sister used it to reunite a lost kitten with its owner. Four years after Craigslist was launched in Boston, its first tentative step outside of its California base, it has become the city's central bulletin board : a place to post ads for old furniture, free boxes of books, roommates, a quick tryst, a lasting relationship, or a job.

Still, the reaction was swift. “Yikes, Feenie really sold out on this one,” one commenter on the the foodie forum eGullet said at the time. “The power of the dollar!” That announcement was just the start. In the near-decade since, many of the best restaurants across Canada have seen their top talent leave for jobs at c...
