OLX is another reason why the Internet loves you. OLX is the largest 100% free classifieds site in the world with over 400 million page views by 50 million unique visitors each month. The site provides a simple solution to the complications involved in selling, buying, trading, discussing, organizing, and meeting people across the globe. A one-stop-shop to the extreme—pets, apartments, electronics, tutoring services, jewelry, jobs, RVs, parking spots and even love, just to give you a taste.

Why else OLX is cool:

• Available for use in 39 languages and 87 countries as of January 2009
• Partnered with social networking sites such as Friendster, Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Stumble Upon and hi5, its most recent addition
• Ability to include videos and pictures in listings
• Ajax “WYSIWYG” rich-text editor for richer listings
• Mobile phone access

Its international angle gives OLX users an advantage over Craig’s List, which has a predominantly American audience.  OLX goes even further with its global effect by including a city, neighborhood and zip code database so an entire country is covered and not just pre-selected cities. Its social networking connection boosts media coverage and blogger discussion, which of course promotes the site to a wider audience and gets users involved.

So whether you’re buying, selling, just window shopping or playing the field, OLX is where you need to be.
