BlockRocker: Geographic Classifieds
byBlockRocker takes free online classifieds to a new level with the inclusion of Google Maps to let you shop geographically. Basically it’s like Craigslist with Google Maps thrown on top to help you buy or sell. There are only 80 classifieds currently so the local aspect of it is tough to appreciate, but I can see how this could really catch on if more people were using it. Strangely over 250,00 people have viewed the site in the past month, so if you have something good to sell now would be the time to post it as it’s sure to be seen.
The process of posting a classified is very easy but also very robust with many nice features like privacy, multiple contact options and one the option to create a flyer of your ad to hang up around town. For the web2.0 geeks it has custom RSS feed creation and also supports tagging of your classifieds. Best of all BlockRocker is entirely free to use and there is no registration required to use it.
