Girls rule! That’s their slogan on Lillyslist.com, a new online classifieds site that is said to dominate against Craigslist and another popular online classifieds site Backpage. Lillyslist is a US based website and is specifically only for the U.S. market. Their listings are somewhat similar to Craigslist where you can find it straight from their main page and you can search further through their extended listings which is something that Craigslist doesn’t have.
Their free classifieds have prices in the U.S. that are very competitive compared to Craigslist, they said and is perfect for practically everyone in the U.S. who are in need of marketing their products or are in search of items. Other parts of the site include personals where you can also find love. Wonder if they have a way to control it and prevent future crimes.
The Lillyslist.com wants to be a one stop shop for the U.S. market as there are other international classifieds elsewhere so they primarily focused on the U.S. Let’s all just wait and see if this new site will become a great competitor for Craigslist or it will hit the swamp as other similar sites have.
Bill Caswell is now gaining great popularity for news he let out when he won 3rd place in a World Rally Championship race with a very cheap car that he only bought for $500 from Craigslist. This guy is amazing, no real funds yet a lot of free time and a welder plus credit cards made him a 3rd placer in a competition for renowned racing pros. His $500 1991 BMW 318i beats other rally cars that are over $400,000 worth.
It really makes you think that a racer is really born and not made. This guy proved that even a D.I.Y car can beat the most expensive racing cars as long as the racer has the heart and dedication for the sport.
The rivalry between eBay and Craigslist had been in the news for over a couple of years now. First, eBay acquired shares on Craigslist then a year later launched Kijiji, a classified site very similar to Craigslist. In 2007 they launched Kijiji in the US and filed suits against Craigslist about pushing them out of shares but Craigslist filed a case against eBay with their hostile intention of taking over.
Craigslist was more on the passive side while eBay continues to push further and even changed Kijiji to eBayclassifieds.com with a mobile application. They wanted to out beat Craigslist with their “better” online classified ads site with their new ability of taking pictures and creating listings instantly through their mobile application. With the name change and better mobile application, they expected and hoped to beat Craigslist but statistics for unique visitors show otherwise. Craigslist continues to be on the 45-55M range of unique visitors while eBayclassifieds.com on the 0-1 million range. If eBay wants to beat Craigslist they really have to think of better ways to raise the competition, perhaps by reviving their good name first.
