More on classifieds

A report from the Pew Internet & American Life Projects reports that 27 million internet users are selling something online. Craigslist.org tops the list of online classified ad usage. The report also notes that internet classified traffic is up 80 percent the past year. Seventeen percent of people in Gen Y (ages 18 to 28) are selling something, while 26 percent of older adults (ages 29 to 40) are hawking something online. This is a study that provides more data to the fears of newspaper executives watching their cash cow of classifieds ads migrate to the internet.
