LiveDeal offers a platform/rev share for local media sites and will fill with its geographically relevant listings. It’s not syndication per se but the effect is similar at a high level.

Oodle has no advertisers of its own and is purely aggregating listings from third party sites and now pushing those listings to its network.

Given the article today in the NY Times re: ecommerce in China, have you come across any articles/research on the online classifieds market in China??? I see that Craigslist covers certain regions in Asia, but, the number of listings is relatively small.

The quality of "views" or "clicks" that such a redundant, circular strategy provides is uncertain.
