Craig's list challenge: Wal Mart???
#1


I don't think this is going to work. The culture of Wal Mart could not even succeed with downloads let along something like Craig's list. What do you think?

Sorry. I don't click on "news"max links. I don't need to master my own body weight or learn secret martial arts.

This is a strange collusion-- because that website ties to Cox Media publications like you would find on the newspaper rack, like AutoTrader, Bargain Trader, etc., as well as other NON-Cox sites that are just amateur attempts at a "Craig'sList." Search is poor and number of items posted is poor also.

I would guess that they bought an interest in this - to stimulate other ads. Some ads that are connected, they CHARGE people for - I have a few auto parts I was going to post, until I got to that section, and said "screw you......."

Donato said Wal-Mart is a good fit for Oodle's online classifieds because Wal-Mart has such a strong local presence in each community where it has stores.

If you mean by "market saturation" sure, I guess Wal-Mart can be classified as "local."
