I put this in my Netflix queue and watched it last night.  I found it to be
a very interesting documentary on American life with lots of enjoyable
characters, all encountered on a cross country journey with nothing but a
cell phone and a laptop (and a camera man).

Modern hippies (that's where the beater Vanagon comes in), assorted free
spirits, a Middle Eastern immigrant extended family, a hoarder, and numerous
others.  All capped by an interview with Craig Newmark himself.

Well worth watching to learn about another kind of "social network." Thanks
for the tip!

Stuart

Vanagon alert!  Very very fun documentary to watch!  A young man named Joe
decides to live one month on the kindness of strangers met thru craigslist!
I am a craigslist junkie myself, so i thought, what the heck!  Might as well
see if it's enjoyable!  It was fun, inspiring, and even included a guy named
Travis and his POS 1985 Vanagon driving from LA North to Portland.   News
flash, they didn't make it all the way.  Breakdowns galore. Even that was
fun to watch, as I have also broken down many times driving all over this
country, and have met many kind souls willing to lend a hand!  Anyway, I
have to give the movie a recommendation, as it truly made my day watching
it!  Hope it does yours too!

Yes, I bought another van!  In the process of buying another!  Yes, it's a
sickness!
