Now people are telling us about
freenapkin.com -- which appears to be an entire website devoted to the
craigslist "free stuff" category.
PC World calls it a "site that will matter" but we wonder if, like CB radio, it isn't a heartland thing that will not translate to New York. It's one thing to read about a
free sofabed and loveseat if you live in Wenatchee, Washington, for example, but if you live here you a.) probably don't have a van to move it in, and b.) worry about
bedbugs. On the other hand, there are so many
freenapkin.com listings for New York City at any given time that you stand a good chance of finding something you might-could use within a couple of blocks. And they sometimes have things like
Blackberries which should be easy to check for bedbugs. Did we mention we worry about bedbugs?
