Microsoft enters the classified business

According to CNet’s news.com: “Microsoft is developing a free online service that will let people list items for sale, events and other classifieds-type of information that can be shared either with groups of friends or anyone over the Internet, the company said Tuesday.”

While this new offering from Microsoft seems to be quite different to the recently launched Google Base, that it is playing in the same space of classifieds is significant but not that unexpected blow to print media. It’s integration with MSN in particular takes the idea of classifieds to a new place and makes them more appealing to the IM generation.
