HUFFINGTON POST - Apr 9 - The Craigslist casual encounters section
offers a no-strings-attached experience that's expedient and anonymous.
The section started in 2000 and now accounts for 2% of all Craigslist
postings, which run in 570 cities and 50 countries and get more than
50M visitors a month. In fact, the New York Times reports that traffic
to all Craigslist personals sections is higher than for Match.com,
eHarmony and Yahoo personals. In 2006, Nassau County set up a
prostitution sting operation focused on Craigslist. As a result, last
year, Craigslist reached an agreement with state attorney generals to
charge a $5 fee and require a phone number for people posting "erotic
services." The move led to an immediate 80% drop in postings to that
section. FULL ARTICLE @ HUFFINGTON POST
