All the pretty pictures from Craigslist: Listpic

(Credit: CNET Networks)

Just got a ping from the developer of Listpic, a service that provides a visual interface into Craigslist. Want to see all the motorcycles for sale in your area? Or houses for rent? This tool will display just the pictures. Clicking on one displays a pop-up of the listing. Clicking again pops you over to Craigslist. It also works with personals. Very easy to use, very useful, and a lot of fun. Thumbs-up from me.

It also made me think: how cool would it be if Like.com searched Craigslist (and eBay) in addition to the online retailers it currently scans? It would be a great way to shop for bargains.
