Just last week, the Los Angeles Times found a nifty new answer to the age-old question "How do we milk all this free Craigslist content and use it to create page views for us and thus money!!? Money!!?!"

That answer involves videographer Katy Newton, who has been trolling the C-List's "Missed Connections" section for fractions of stories to turn into video segments for the Times' new "ICU" section. Clever or creepy? We're not sure. But we're intrigued and will be checking back on Tuesday for the next installment. Which is probably exactly what their new "innovation editor" had in mind.
