Harvesting the Internetz
You can learn quite a bunch cruising the internetz.
Tonight I am hitting up an old habit - Craigslist.
Its been a fascinating relationship that Craig Newmark’s list and Kristian Hansen have developed over the years.
Some things that I have found/bought/discovered on the site in no specific order:
- Girls
- Bed, Chair, Desk, table
- Bike
- Track Bike
- Bike Parts
- Skateboard
- Rides to LA, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara
- Chess lessons
- Russian lessons
- Turkish lessons
- Apartments in Harlem, Brooklyn, West Village, San Francisco
- Trip to Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Yosemite with 26 year old Swedish girl for $150.
- Coffee dates
- Consulting work
- Startup companies to work with
- Bartending gigs
I bring this up because I am back on the bandwagon with CL. Tonight I spent half an hour browsing for cool people that might be fun to hangout with in SF. Let me be very clear - this was in the STRICTLY PLATONIC section. I wasn’t in the weird areas where everyone is naked or looking to go skiing in July.
I feel kind of like its been two months of SF now and it would be awesome to meet more people. Why not harvest this social network?
Emails sent out so far include, girl who wants to watch Dark Knight, guy who wants a buddy for watching operas (I want to check out the Ring Cycle next time its in SF), girl who recently moved here and looking for new friends, and I emailed a guy about a vintage track frame.
Will keep this updated as results come in.
