AOL announced the launch of AOL Classifieds where users can search millions of local classifieds listings and post their own ads for free. Developed in partnership with Oodle, which operates the largest network of classifieds services in the U.S., buyers can easily find the best deals with access to more than 40 million listings aggregated from more than 80,000 different sites. In addition, AOL Classifieds links consumers directly to classifieds listings on other properties within the AOL network including AOL Autos, AOL Jobs, AOL Personals, and AOL Real Estate.
AOL had exited the personal classifieds space in 2005, instead becoming an aggregator of classifieds from its industry partners.
Oodle recently closed an additional $5.6M in funding from its existing investors and its CEO said it was looking to make the classifieds experience more social. "With our partnerships with MySpace and Facebook we're now poised to usher in a new generation of classifieds," Craig Donato wrote on the Oodle blog.
