Another CL — yawn… don’t see how it brings anything NEW to the table or solves the basic marketing challenge of finding and targeting the *right* buyers for my product or service.

I don’t think my friends on Facebook would appreciate blatent comericalization. If you have something to sell or give away you would let your friends know about it anyway and give them first crack at it? Right? I do.

But I don’t post ads for my stuff or for my business on Facebook.

The ones that do blatent commercialization on Facebook aren’t real friends cause this is a SOCIAL vehicle not a virtual space to sell an over priced timeshare to people that don’t want it.

iList looks pretty and has some nice graphic components for selling / marketing, but does not solve the fundamental challenge of business. Reaching the target buyer for the product or service.

Show me that and I will be impressed!

What stops a site like friendfeed or youmeo doing this?

I think the idea is interesting but may have some challenge in getting traction in the US where users have been trained to use eBay and Craigslist. We have just launched an experimental OpenSocial App “AdBhai Classifieds” – A Social Classifieds site for the Indian Market ..http://www.orkut.com/Main#AppInfo.aspx?appId=792334446910

Would love to get some feedback from folks here.

Think about it this way…if you have no sellers (ie content creators) no buyers will come, and if you have no buyers, then its hard to get sellers…so how do you get around the “empty bar challenge”.

Well you give sellers a tool to promote their listings to their friends, to craigslist (better looking ads) to other areas where people are listening to them…as a bi-product of this that content also gets added to the ilist site creating that elusive content…as the content gets built up, buyers will have more incentive to visit the site, which will then in turn attract more sellers…it is a snowball effect if you can get it right…

Thats the hard part…good luck guys.

SO, you work at shopit huh? Who else knows shopit’s FB stats? Nobody casually coming by this article would bother to check.

You are a shill and an astroturfer.

Craigslist, Oodle, Kiji, Backpage

Sorry my friend but you have entered a very competitive space with a not so great idea.

This looks just like someone trying to jump on the “social network” bandwagon without thinking about whether or not it was a good idea to begin with.

I dont want everyone on my friends sending me alerts when they decide to sell their old junk or sublet their apartment. The percentage of eyeballs that are going to see these ads that are actually looking for the product is going to be very tiny.

Didn’t anyone every tell you not to do business with your friends? I can see it now. I imagine ilife will destroy many a friendship.

wow i really like it. The fact that it allows video upload, connects with all these world renowned websites, AND still gets the benefits of a craigslist posting. I’d rather have an account than to not have one
