Because, now, you can apparently broadcast your internet postings into outer-space via craigslist (
http://www.craigslist.org).
"Online Community Set To Leap Beyond Solar System:
craigslist users to be first to transmit internet postings into deep space"
See the press release, available online at
http://www.craigslist.org/about/space.html.

Human seeking Extra-terrestrials.
Now that would be a fun date!
Kinda brings new meaning to the web-related term "UNIVERSAL resource locator (URL)," doesn't it?
