Craigslist | iPhone Style

Who doesn't love Craigslist? 

I can't tell you how many fabulous finds I've gotten via this wonderful online network. A great wool rug, an adorable bistro table, a solid wood 'teachers' desk, not to mention my first job out of college. So, as you can see, I have more than enough reasons to be passionate about it. I was approached by PheedYou, Inc. to help them with some graphics and icons for the iPhone application they were developing: Craigsearch. Which, as you may guess, was all about Craigslist! I quickly said, "I'm in!" And we started working. Meanwhile, I actually got an iPhone (thanks to my sneaky husband) which significantly helped in my 'research' (wink, wink). 

Craigsearch has been a huge hit. Go figure. Craigslist + iPhone = A dream come true.

Here are the stats:

+ Over 100,000 downloads in 3 months

+ Average of 5,000 users daily

+ Approximately 20,000 hard core users who use the app on a regular basis

+ Average daily per user session time of 17 minutes

+ Second most popular Craigslist application in the App Store rankings
