My first thought was – yup, now they are having to start to charge. (Article from Mashable about Craigslist)

The just of the article is really here: “Going through the forums on Craigslist, it would appear that most users are happy with this decision. It’s largely because of user feedback that Craigslist did finally decide to impose job posting fees. Surely this user support comes from the desire to see less junk postings on Craigslist, which Atlanta’s mayor has recently brought to national attention.”

Interesting that they are charging to keep out the riff-raff ans keep the customers happy.
