Listpic returns with classifieds from Oodle.com

Listpic, the controversial visual front-end for Craigslist, has made the switch to classifieds service Oodle.com. The change comes after last week's cease and desist order from Craigslist, which forced Listpic to discontinue scraping data from the popular classifieds service. Listpic was apparently sucking up so much of Craigslist's bandwidth that the site's performance had suffered. Craigslist then fired back with legal action.

Oodle.com is a service that aggregates classifieds listings from a number of local and national sites. It claims to let users search over 20 million listings that have been pulled from more than 75,000 classified sites.

Before the current swap, creator Ryan Sit had temporarily moved the service to Backpage.com, which hosts its own classifieds service. Listpic has retained the same, simplistic look and feel, visual thumbnail browsing, and the advertisements that coincidentally got it into trouble in the first place.

Listpic will surely be in a profitable situation with this alliance. Classifieds aggregator, Oodle, will surely add value to Listpic. However, the competitive environment that listpic is operating in, it is bound to get stiff competition from the likes of Kijiji.com, olx.com, not to forget the leader craigslist.com among many other popular classifieds sites.

Classifieds industry has got a lot of potential and offers tremendous opportunities to new entrants as well. The emergence of new players like burrp.com, clickindia.com, indianclassifieds.com and many more has made the classifieds space even more hotter. This is a good sign and beneficial for the users.

This is very nice review on free classifieds , I think in couple years paper classified will go under, and online classified site will take over that.
