Craiglist-y KiJiJi

KiJiJi is like CraigsList with sites in various cities in the northern hemisphere (+ Australia and New Zealnad), but, conspicuously, none in the US. ("Kijiji means "village" in Swahili. Plus, it has five dotted letters in a row.)

Competition is almost always a good thing. But CraigsList is so good, and so good-hearted, that I'm not filled with joy at the thought of the fragmentation competition brings. My feelings, they are mixed. (One of the threads at the Toronto site asks if anyone has actually made a sale on it yet. Not a lot of yes responses yet. But give it time.)
