By now, you should definitely have heard of Kijiji, the regional classifieds website(s) where you can buy almost anything, post free ads, find a job, or discover community events and happenings. The name Kijiji which means “village” in Swahili has caught on in more than 20 world markets and over 300 cities, with more than 4 million unique visitors per month in the U.S.
It’s hard not to compare the website to that of Craigslist or eBay, but Kijiji in many ways is stronger and has more growth potential. People seem to enjoy the user experience a little bit more and have an easier time getting around.
Ask me what my eBay password is… I don’t remember. I know they sent me something in the mail (a PIN number or something like that) and then I was supposed to enter it in, the whole process just seemed archaic for an online marketplace.
Craigslist which is probably the most like Kijiji really doesn’t share the same user experience, and isn’t quite as flexible.
What are your experiences with Kijiji? Are you a fan?
