    Today people can publish anything for free online, including ads. That means that the act of publishing is not really what they’re paying a newspaper for, or anyone for that matter. They’re paying to get their message out to a specific audience.
    A specific audience is different from “the largest audience possible,” which is […]

    New on the classifieds scene: Wal-mart! News surfaced in recent days that the giant retailer has added Wal-mart Classifieds to its website, which has an enviable 26 million unique visitors a month. It’s powered by Oodle, the Silicon Valley classifieds technology and aggregation company, and features classified ads — filtered locally — from the Oodle […]

    When reader Bob Wyman, longtime media-technology innovator and currently a member of Google’s technical staff, discovered ReinventingClassifieds.com recently, it reminded him of an essay he wrote for CMC Magazine back in 1996: “Employment Listings Are Another Forfeited Franchise.”

    If, like me, you’ve been reading newspapers for a long time (I’ve been reading the New York Times almost every day for 40 years), you noticed the dramatic decline in classified ad pages.
    Back in the 1950s my dad would carefully look read the classified ads in the papers of any town he visited. He used […]

    We are working with a client to target classified ads. Similar to a Google-AdSense-Sidebar (or Amazon Shoplet), the products are related to the content displayed in the main area. We are also able to integrate the ads in mails such as newsletters or even print-mailings. Further, we want to offer an alert-system that allows the […]

    I think classifieds will take at least two routes forward. First, I think buyers and sellers will connect through web services such as SOAP, which means my mom would find an intermediary such as her local newspaper which would create a search agent that would find qualified buyers for her home or car, and […]
