Craigslist searches in Google Reader

Written by Dustin Wheeler, CPA. Posted in Social Media

Not long ago, a friend told me that he hoped to buy a certain piece of used equipment on Craigslist. He said that he frequently went to the Craigslist website and searched for the name of the equipment he wanted to buy. If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you know that I use Google Reader to pull content from all over the Internet and read it all in one place. My friend’s situation made me wonder if a Craigslist search could be pulled into Google Reader. Indeed, it can be done and it is very easy. For example, after selecting my location (Las Vegas), I can go to the For Sale – Computers section and search for a tablet (not that I’m looking for a used tablet on Craigslist, but it makes a good example for this blog post).

When I scroll to the bottom of the page, there is a small RSS button on the right side.

After I click on the RSS button, I copy the resulting page’s URL. In Google Reader, I click on the subscribe button and paste the URL. How do you use Craigslist for business, if at all? I am curious to know, so please leave a comment below.

I am thomas wheeler my dad on his death bed told me he had a daughter and son that was older than me. Sad part is, I have never meet them and know nothing about the wheeler family history. Because my grandpa came from NYNY is all I know. My dad was a WWII veteran and drank a lot told me we were native american yet I want to know where the wheelers really came from here or another country.

My parents said the same thing. This is a lot more interesting than the ‘wheel’ theory for certain.
I’m impressed that so many other ‘Wheelers’ also ended up here.

So after trying to figure out why my cents were adding wrong, I saw this and decided to chance the fix.
It worked.
So, File, Options, Advanced, When Calculating This Workbook, check Set Precision As Displayed
Now, my .02 + .02 = .03 is now gone. Yeah.
Also, decide which way your cells are going to be – number, currency, or accounting. Keep them the same.
