Livewith.us Makes The Roommate Search More Social, Less Painful

livewithus dashboardLooking for someone to share your apartment on Craigslist can be a huge pain so much so, in fact, that when my roommate moved out last year, I considered leaving the room empty. Thanks to some friend-of-friend connections, it all worked out in the end, but if it hadn't, I probably I could've used a service like Livewith.us.Perhaps the first thing to say about Livewith.us is that it's not actually trying to compete with Craigslist. Instead, its creators expect users to continue posting and finding roommate listings on Craigslist. However, when the someone finds a listing that seems like a good fit, they can apply via Livewith.us. It's there, in the latter part of the process -- the part that's largely conducted over email -- that the site should be useful.
