I always read them… apparently Ellen featured it on her show… they are the Missed Connections on Craigslist, and Katy Newton (of Not Just a Number fame) has done a great multimedia piece on one of the most interesting sections on Craigslist.
It’s called I C U: Los Angeles Connections:
Every day, tiny stories spring up from the Southern California maze of freeways and neighborhoods and into the “missed connections” section of Craigslist. Most don’t have Hollywood endings, it’s just hopeful residents trying to meet, reconnect, share moments in some way. For the lucky few, lives change. Every week, video-journalist Katy Newton tracks down the faces behind the posts.
