Craigslist/GoogleBase as source of income?

I've been thinking lately about CL ... it's world's largest classifieds with about 8 millions of posts every day... but no one really's using it as profit generation tool, except few spammers (CL posting tool)..

Let's exchange ideas and create a list of possibilities. It doesn't matter if your idea would be hard to implement at the moment...

If you have an idea, copy all previously posted ones , and add yours... so at the end we'll have a list of possibilities..

ok, my turn:

1. many staffing agencies offer 'bounties' if you refer to them someone with specific skills... well those people could be found on CL.
2. Service like "keyword watch", with SMS msg when new post containing specified keyword has been posted..

The first one is good.

I don't have any of my own, except of course selling stuff through it.
