Classified Ad Meet Social Networks – Social Networks meet Classified Ad

Uncategorized

We’ve all done it…Whether it’s unloading an old car in order to afford a new one, peddling a piece of unwanted furniture or selling clothes purged from our closets, we’ve all turned to classified ads at one time or another.

Until now, the most effective way to pawn what we’re ready to put behind us has been Craig’s List (and it still amazes me that the founder of Craig’s List has declined seven figure offers simply because he created the site for goodwill and purpose, but that’s an entirely different blog post.)

Well Craig’s List – and FaceBook, Twitter, Friend Feed, Yahoo, Google and all your online brothers and sisters – meet iList, the newest, most innovative way to sell anything you want online.

The latest inductee to Clever, Ink.’s smart thINKing blotter, iList integrates with today’s most popular web services to promote classified listings across all of your social networks. Basically, you post it and iList broadcasts it – to anyone and everyone you connect with online.
iList makes it super easy for your friends to help promote your listings to their friends, and just to make sure you’re getting your listing in front of as many people as possible; iList allows you to automatically post to Craigslist with the click of a button. But one of the nicest features of iList is that it takes sketchy out of online classifieds. iList prominently displays each lister’s identity, with direct links to their profiles on their social networks. You can even see who their friends are, as well as any friends the two of you may have in common.

Recently featured on Mashable, one of Time Magazine’s 2009 Power Blogs, iList is a fantastic example of relevant and simple smart thINKing. Watch as it quickly gains notoriety and users. Yet another wow idea we can all add to our “why didn’t we think of that?” lists.
