Your listing will also reach other viewers by being distributed through the edgeio Network for free!" Sounds like it will be put on any edgeio powered board that accepts free listings automatically? BUT, when creating a board on marketplaces, there is no option to set your board to auto populate with edgeio network listings. What does this mean when posting to Crunchboard?

For tickets fraud and timely delivery was a problem, for handmade stuff there is a lack of brand keywords for buyers to search on so they can't find handmade items. AdBrite is also for a vertical. This has been a the successful way to start a new marketplace post ebay/craigslist. edgeio wants to sell everything and offers free listings. That model has failed over and over and always succumbs to spam and poor listing quality. All I have ever seen when looking over edgeio was spam. CSamarin: See the "Student Superstore" group on facebook which is an interface to half.com. They have also been getting on google’s nerves by talking to MySpace about peer commerce and they released a blog affiliate program recently. Robert:
