craiglist app for smart phone
« on: March 13, 2012, 03:11:38 PM »
I got a new app for my Droid.  It is a craigslist search and notify app.  You set the app to find aquariums or fish and it does it and sends you a notice when it finds a new listing.  It is called craigsnotification.  Very cool app for find more aquariums!

I suspect that's not actually made by the Craigslist people, so there's a chance it could get shut down someday.

There used to be a great aggregate called Craiglook that would allow you to do more specific searches within a mileage radius of a certain area. The great thing was it'd check all of the possible CLs instances instead of me having to check Detroit, then Ann Arbor, then Jackson, then Lansing, etc.... Darn Craigslist company sent them a cease and desist so now they just aggregate a few other sites that get much less traffic.  :(

I also have the Inspire and love it.  Reference the app, Craiglist is notorious for viruses, most people have software that catches them but what does a droid have that would protect you if it is even possible for a phone to get a virus which brings up the next question, is it possible?

George - check out Look out security.  It's what I use. I've had it installed on all of my android phones

I haven't really heard of people getting phone viruses yet. I'm sure it's coming eventually but right now it's not really a threat. I tried Lookout and it's not bad but it does use system resources a bit. It does have some handy perks though. Right now I got my Razr Maxx stock and pretty much loaded the same as my Droid X. IMO, the best way to protect your phone from viruses is to read the comments and see what others say about it. And not just the 3 comments that are up front when you go to get the app...
