Default No More Craiglook.com

Since many of us do regional or national searches for cars, craiglook.com has been a great site that consolidates all the local craigslist listings and provides links to them. Here's what craiglook.com now displays:

*****

Craiglook.com has been shut down by demand of Craigslist.org

I have also complied with their request and have removed all RSS feeds and links to craigslist.org from the website.

I am extremely grateful to you all who kept the site running with your great ideas and feedback. I will try my best in reaching to Craigslist to see if there is a way for Craiglook to work out legal claims that they have pointed out.

*****

I know craiglist has added listings for adjoining local areas in your search, but it still comes up far short if your are doing a region-wide or national car search. Does anyone have any other tools or techniques to easily do national searches of craigslist?

That was always an irk I hated about Craigslist.

If I want to find a rare item across the country, it's too difficult to do multiple searches. In Cali alone, I need to search five different areas (L.A, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, and Vegas all do not link "together") for things I want...

Fine, but that doesn't indicate WHY Craigslist.org made the demand to shut down, or, more important, if they even had the authority to make the demand in the first place. Just because somebody says "Jump", that doesn't mean one has to reply "How High"?

CL's lawyers probably decided that the craiglook mashup didn't conform to CL's terms of use. The mere threat of an expensive lawsuit may have incented craiglook to fold up their tent.

Seems like lawyers today will sue for almost anything.
