I'd suggest you emulate this, above all else.
OK i need to make it so that there are chat statuses and you can see when people are available.
The minute I type in "blonde" or whatever, the first thing Chrome does is say "The browser would like to know your physical location" before it even begins loading the map. I feel like if I was trying to be discrete about my erotic actions, I'd be inclined to click "no". More concerningly, the entire page stops loading before you make up your mind (since the whole page is a google map, I'm guessing?) - this makes it…
it should not ask for loc on the search page. Ill fix that.
I think another reason CL does so well - in all services - is that it allows me to browse wherever I want - not tied to my current location.
The reason that Craigslist is popular is because there is no BS involved. It's plaintext. You click on something—it loads. It does not ask you where you are or try to sneak info from your browser. It doesn't stop loading while it's doing goofy Microsoft stuff. It doesn't stop loading while it harvests your personal info. It's dead simple. I'd suggest you emulate this, above all else.
I made this in a weekend by myself so I think its pretty cool even if everyone on HN thinks its lame. Thanks for the suggestion though.
this is so amusing watching the green things pop up all over the map! I am so lost on what I am doing though...

No. This is an example of what you do NOT need to do. If you try to make it some giant glorified chat app, it will fail utterly.
