It's not only a way to track down lost pets and fine homes for found ones, it's an excellent way of keeping track of crime in the neighborhood, getting rid of stuff you don't want (got rid of an unused bookshelf, a curio cabinet and some raspberry plants the same day I posted), get free stuff you do want (I got a perfectly nice piano because a neighbor didn't want it), find out about local events, etc. I highly recommend it.
