"Why hasn't another product disrupted and replaced Craigslist," someone wondered on knowledge gathering site Quora recently. It didn't take long for the answers to pour in with one resounding theme: "Craigslist has been disrupted, it's just not obvious yet."
The most detailed (and highest-ranked) explanation of this whole phenomenon came from entrepreneur Josh Hannah. He explains that the disruption — or replacement — of Craigslist isn't obvious just yet because it's happening category by category:
Sites and services like Plenty of Fish, OK Cupid, and JDate are covering most of what users would get out of the Craigslist personals section.
Gazelle, Etsy, Listia, and others take care of the sale and exchange of products.
Elance, Simply Hired, and similar hit the job section.
CouchSurfing, RentHop, and HomeAway take care of housing.
