Also, der Name ist schon mal super: “Wir leben”. Und außerdem ist richtig was los auf den Seiten, die Ende 2004 ins Leben gerufen wurden. Das könnte also ein ernsthafter Konkurrent für den kijiji-Ableger loquo werden.

Und wie immer, wenn ein neuer kijiji-Konkurrent mit Aussichten auf Erfolg auftaucht, kriege ich ein bisschen Herzklopfen. Also weiter so, Jungs, haltet den Spirit hoch und haut rein…

Its interesting to see the diverse development of the kijiji country sites. In Asia, especially China and Taiwan lots of changes into the visual direction have been made, i.e. this new taiwanesian banner shown below. In the western world, kijiji sticks more to the principle of “text only”.

Bisher hatte ich den Eindruck, die Beschäftigung mit craigslist und kijiji sei einigen wenigen vorbehalten, die auch irgendwie alle inhaltlich mit Kleinanzeigen zu tun haben. Dies hier zeigt aber, dass kijiji langsam aber sicher die Merksamkeitsschwelle des Onlinemainstreams überschreitet. Zumindest im Blogginglummaland…

Rome is Classified Mekka these days: Especially for the new and strong contender from vivastreet. In Berlin, everybody left the city for holidays, as listings went down strongly.

Summertime seems to be craigslist time. CL-sites are growing all over the world these days. Despite the rest of classified world. Have a look. My thesis: craiglist users are using their list for freetime activities, when they are travelling etc. And kijiji is a place for the serious guys, who are gone fishing these days and stopped listing. Maybe this is an indicator of the huge difference felt between craiglist and kijiji. There is something missing: Flamboyance!

All those guys that wait for new Hitlists… A big sorry, I am so messed up with university work these days, its just too much… But have a look at the newest stats on your own, its at least something…

sorry, anglophilists and germanophobists, this gotta be in german…

als Konstrast zu dem hier das, was kijiji so den ganzen Tag treibt. Sich populäre Kategorien raussuchen (und versuchen dabei witzig zu sein). Okay, ganz nett, aber flamboyant? NoNoNo!

Can anybody imagine that cooperate kijiji would do something flamboyant like that? I don’t think so!

Ciao! Vivastreet approaches Italy in cooperation with virgilio, an italian portal. Good thing to see that those guys from france keep fighting. Thanx to Yannick, who kindly reminded me to have a look.

As you can see in this week’s stats, they already are ahead of kijiji Rome in one category: personals. Keep this spirit, folks!

kijji Berlin and Craigslist Berlin lost listings in the last week… And opusforum is doing fine!

Craigslist Montreal is loosing every week, kijiji is winning every week, strenghtening its quickly reached position as market leader. French seems to be the key. Why Craig isn’t providing different language versions, nobody knows (he keeps announcing an french version for Paris, but nothing happened since two months). For the kijiji’s thats enough good news to party, as these pictures show…
