Around one year ago gumtree, a popular free classifieds site of UK and Australia starts it's USA mission with 3 cities namely Boston, Chicago and New York. gumtree newtwork is a partner of kijiji network. Being heavily promoted by eBay kijiji has got enormous popularity in the USA. So gumtree has decided to leave USA market instead of competing with it's partner site kijiji.
Now boston.gumtree.com redirects to Boston Kijiji, chicago.gumtree.com redirects to Chicago Kijiji and newyork.gumtree.com redirects to New York Kijiji. Combinely gumtree-kijiji network is the largest and most popular network of free classified sites around the world. Although craigslist.org has huge popularity in USA the site fails to get that much popularity outside USA and among the non-english speaking nations. Grumtree-kijiji network has captured the non-US and non-English markets of online free classifieds very well.

Are you sure QUITING? Why? Its sad news. The internet has created many windows of opportunities. Online classifieds should primarily be FREE to all. Ofcourse, consumers should understand there s cost involved in starting and maintaining websites, scripting, hosting etc.
Anyway the good news is we just heard a new kid on town. Listen, yo. Biggest Classifieds is coming to town. The news is here. Just bumped into it. Also heard these guys are running charity programmes too. Cool eh.
