eBay Launches Craigslist Clone In Six Countries
from the so-that's-what-they-plan-to-do dept
While eBay surprised a lot of people by buying one quarter of Craigslist last summer (due to someone selling his shares to eBay, rather than the company looking for an investment), it looks like they're taking what they've learned... and launching competitors.BusinessWeek's Tech Beat points out that eBay has launched a free classified service in six countries under the Kijiji brand. While none of the locations are places where Craigslist has a presence, Craigslist has been expanding internationally -- so you have to wonder if the two will start to bump into each other. eBay says they're doing it to build up a sense of "community," though, you have to wonder if Craig and company feel particularly communal towards their step-parent in this situation.

Not competitors.
A dry cleaning place in San Fransisco is not a direct competitor to a dry cleaning place in NYC. A Craigslist equivalent in a different country is not a direct competitor to any of the US Craigslists.
Also, I think it's a smart move by Ebay; Craig should have thought of it first.

Re: Not competitors.
Ah, but a dry cleaning business in NYC *is* a competitor to a dry cleaning business in San Francisco that has been expanding eastward...
It's a competitive move. Craigslist has been expanding, and eBay did an end run.

Re: craigslist clones
Hi, - I run 5 craigslist clones listed and linked to from the url above.
I wish they were a lot lower cost but I'm glad to see the scripts I own an Unlimited Domain License in are getting around now. It's a great one - but could use some retooling - for instance let people leave ads without waiting for an email confirmation (up to admin) and all admin to place ads in all cities at once and maybe charge for users to do that.
Other than that it's a great script.
