KATU Web Producer/Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. - Craigslist, a popular classifieds Web site visited by millions around the world, has turned into a place where people are offering help and prayers to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
For example, the 'free' and 'volunteer' sections of the New Orleans page on Craigslist are filling up with postings like 'God bless you all,' 'Free housing in Austin Texas for victims' and 'Will make any long distance calls to help you.'
In the 'lost and found' section, which has the most listings related to Hurricane Katrina, people looking for loved ones are posting messages like 'Looking for Stephen McAnespie,' 'Looking for Ellen Thomas family' and 'Has anyone seen the O'Brien family?'
