RentRent.org - Craig's List On A Map

Craig’s List is a beautiful tool. It let’s you find possible apartments and roommates easily.

The one thing that it’s missing is a way for you to see where those homes actually are. Over at Rentrent.org, you’ll find a mashup of Craig’s List, Virtual Earth API, JQuery, and SQlite. This will allow you to see the many available apartments on Craig’s List with a very interactive feel. This is something that Craig’s List should seriously consider applying to their site. It makes it so easy for you to see where the apartment or home is located, that you’ll find yourself covering a lot more listings that you would by seeing them as they are displayed on Craig’s List. This site stands as a testament of how useful Microsoft’s Virtual Earth is. Most people brush it off as just a Google Maps rip off, but it has some little trinkets that make it stand out as a great mapping resource.
