Not sure I agree with most the conclusions drawn in that article.
The article does say that "sure enough, Google displays recent listings from Craigslist right now," which does seem to be true for me, too, when I try.

i don't know, but if i understand http://3taps-statistics.qatro.com/craigslist/index.pl correctly then they are missing lots of posts. the numbers seem to be percentages.
http://3taps.com/stats Scroll down to the "daily report" and they've dropped from almost 2 million posts a day to 153.
Yeah. This is all talking about 3taps, not "general search engines". 3taps seems to be claiming that Craigslist has cut off Google, but I think it's just that Craigslist has cut off 3taps.
*Edit: Craigslist added nocache directives to their posts, which means that 3taps can't scrape the Google cached copies. They're not blocking anyone. Interestingly, this also reveals that 3taps was previously violating the Google TOS, which prohibits automated access of the Google cache.

Do some site:city.craigslist.org searches and limit to 24 hours. You'll get no results. You can't cut off 3taps without cutting off Google.

Contradicting earlier statement, 3Taps spokeswoman emails to say, "Craigslist is still allowing indexing of pages." Still nothing from CL PR

"One data harvester, 3taps, said earlier this week that Craigslist had blocked search engines such as Google from including Craigslist pages in search results. But that report was inaccurate.
3taps’ product and quality assurance leader, Meg Nakamura, acknowledged Wednesday in a chat with The Chronicle that something fishy was taking place, but developers there haven’t fully figured out what’s going on."
