OLX the craigslist for the rest of the world
James sent me an email about a company that sounds similar to one of my ideas I am hoping to get funding for. What OLX is doing is becoming the craigslist or classifieds site for the world. The article he forwarded me had some cool info like the fact that they white label partner with friendster and it helps their growth.
Now if these people can get tens of millions of dollars in investments and venture capitol, I know that my idea can get a million. Guess it;s time to get the idea on digital paper so the investors can see how cool of an idea it really is. Who knows that the future holds? Worldwide news and classified domination? Maybe.
Of course there is Kijji for competition - but get real - the name sucks, the domain is hard to remember and the only it has going for it is Ebay - well that’s a pretty big monster going for you, but monster.com is memorable and easy to spell, so is skype, kijjiji? No, no competition there. Neither of them are doing things the way I want to though.
