I'm not going to name them...but a whole lot of people are trying to capitalize on the college community and their potential need for a 'college craigslist' classified system. My first internship was actually marketing just such a thing for Microsoft over a year ago. None, at least at UW, have really seemed to catch on.
Facebook has caught on. Something like over 30,000 users in the UW network. That's nice traction.
I can only imagine a collaborative yell from founders of the classified sites "Oh Crap...Facebook Did WHAT?" if they read today's article on TechCrunch about Facebook Marketplace...if not...they'll say it tomorrow when the thing goes live.
Ouch...I'm curious to see how these sites adapt.
