One Fewer Place to Upload Your Listings – Edgeio Going Under
Last week, Techcrunch reported that Edgeio is shutting down. Edgeio was an online classifieds site that spanned housing, autos, jobs, merchandise, and jobs. The fact that they will be ceasing operations soon means there is now one less online destination where you can upload your listing information.
Based on the 2 comments on Sara Bonert’s post on ActiveRain, I realized not all real estate professionals read TechCrunch like I do — so it made sense to give everyone a heads up that Edgeio is no longer an option when thinking about where to advertise your listings online.
What caused the site to fold? Well, I have no research to back me up, but I’ll venture that Craigslist had a little to do with it.
