Listpic is a alternative to interface to Craigslist for viewing listings. It shows only the listings with photos and shows the photos first. I have used it nearly everyday since it came out to quickly see what people have for sale.

All the pages indicate that it's been blocked and point to this forum to complain. According to comments in this Apartment Therapy Chicago post, the owners of the website have received a "Cease and Desist" order.

Hopefully Craig Newmark will make a comment that they plan their own such interface, or I see a user revolt on their hands.

Here's some honest info... < craig° > 06/07 18:15:20

I'm swamped, traveling, so here's the short version regarding the listpic thing.

The listpic technology was taking a lot of bandwidth from our servers making it harder for the vast bulk of people who visit our site.

The listpic people are aware of this and other issues, which they do not disclose.

Perhaps they should disclose those reasons here, and also, maybe explain their attempt to monetize our site.

thanks!

Craig
