The future is in video classified ads and that is because text and pictures can deceiving, while manipulating a video is hard for now.

Of course Kajigglejoo is going to stir up some spin between them and CL. They own a pretty massive portion of CL, so they have nothing to lose either way. At any rate, I begrudgingly have to side with "Darren" on this one. Despite the fact that "Darren" is obviously somewhat involved with backpage (I'm sure his employers probably wouldn't condone such asinine, self-promoting posts), he's right. backpage.com is kind of the sleeper hit of the online classified world (if there is such a world). Sure, it sort of has a commercial stench about it, but it's easily overlooked and it certainly doesn't even come close to the sterile, corporate feel of Kajujijajajangleyjoo's UI. And, quite frankly, I'd rather it be laid out on the table rather than very meticulously hidden like CL does. -- And, yes...there's far less garbage to sift through on backpage. My only beef with BP is how flagrantly they throw their adult content around. Kachacha doesn't have any adult stuff and CL hides theirs pretty well (meaning that, if you want it, you have to sort of be deliberately looking for it). However, BP is pretty over the top with it. It's sort of hard not to trip over porn on that site. But, I guess if my only complaint it "too much porn", it can't be that bad, right? P.S. Note to Kajibberjaljdhfslk: It's going to be hard to beat CL when you have like 17 ads on your site. Am I the only person here who can see the irony here?
