Taking a trip to London to see if Craigslist people are the same there as here.
This week I’ve decided that I must find out if the Craigslist posting phenomenon is the same in other places around the world as it is in the United States. In order that I could still speak the same language and actually read the posts, I chose London as the subject of my comparison. I focused on some subjects that I’ve addressed in previous CLF posts for convenience sake, seeing if the same patterns are present in the London version.
I went into this assuming that there would be some fundamental differences. I even hoped to find that the idiocy, strangeness and inability for people to post in the right areas were purely an American thing. As it turns out, we’re not as different as I first thought. In fact, minus a few minor exceptions, most of Craigslist is about the same.
