Craigslist Turns into Missing Billboard

August 30 2005
Craigslist.com has been notorious for helping people find great apartments and jobs for years, but now it is being used for a new purpose. In lew of what has happened in New Orleans, the lost and found section on Craigslist is now being used by and family members to post information about missing people in hopes of reconnecting with loved ones.

This is the first time that I can think of where a service on the internet has been used to help locate and family after a natural disaster. Who said technology was bad?
