Interesting, has carsabi partnered with Craigslist? I always thought Craigslist didn't like scrapers and did their best to discourage and prevent them. Has that changed?

#12Congrats, carsabi! I know I've spent too much time screwing with craigslist' crappy search. I just wanted to search across every craigslist in the US for a certain (rare) car. I had to setup like 200 RSS feeds to accomplish it.

#13I knew from the moment I saw Carsabi that it was going to be big. Buying (and selling) used cars is such a pain in the ass that it really surprises me nobody has done something as simple and clean as them. I also like how the initial listings are populated by Craigslist, but on each panel is laid out cleverly to display the "source: craigslist" as a changeable element.

I like Carsabi, but for some reason their name is really forgetful. I don't know why...but I was looking for a car like 2 months after I saw their post...and for the life of me I couldn't remember what they were called

#15Really no flutter on this list? These are all great companies but I think flutter deserves a spot as a company with potential to really change how we interact with our devices.

I could imagine Android-like "face unlock" for laptops or screensavers that kick in when you're facing away or leave the room. :)

#181) By the end of summer their servers will be hacked and a new celebrity startlet's nudie pics will hit the tabloids.
2) Drama and heartache ensue when people find out they can't pair with their wife AND their mistress. This will create a niche market for a Pair client with multiple partners.

If they take the 'i' out, it would be easier to remember.
