Oodle 2.0 Unveils a Whole New Way to Shop Classifieds

SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 19, 2007 – Oodle (http://www.oodle.com/) today announced the launch of Oodle 2.0, a whole new way to shop classifieds. With a new suite of tools and a complete site redesign, Oodle radically improves the way consumers use classifieds.

“Most people have a love-hate relationship with classifieds,” said Craig Donato, CEO of Oodle. “They can find great deals but it’s incredibly frustrating and time-consuming.  Oodle not only gives users access to millions of local listings, it now provides the tools they need to quickly discover great deals.”

With the launch of Oodle 2.0, users can:

Relax While Oodle Does the Work

Oodle recognizes that shopping through classifieds involves more hunting than traditional ecommerce.   It typically takes weeks to find the right car or apartment.  To this end, Oodle has introduced a personalized home page that includes recent searches, so when users return to the site they can quickly pick up where they left off.  Between visits, users also receive detailed email updates of new listings that match their active searches.

Get the Inside Scoop

Oodle enables users to make informed buying decisions answering questions like, “What’s a great price?” and “How often do listings like this pop up?”  The site also safeguards users against an increasingly prevalent problem in classifieds, fraudulent listings.  Oodle’s improved spam detection automatically deletes listings it determines to be fraudulent and flags listings that seem suspicious.   

Find What They’re Looking For

Oodle continues to expand its market leading search, now indexing over 500,000 new listings every day.  Instead of long forms, the site also includes a smart search box that automatically translates keywords into a structured query.  For example, a search for “2004 honda accord” is translated into “manufacturer=Honda, make=Accord, year=2004” yielding better search results. 

About Oodle (will change with future boilerplate revs)

Oodle (www.oodle.com) is a whole new way to shop classifieds. Bringing together more than 30 million listings from over 80,000 classified sites, Oodle improves the way people buy and sell locally. Oodle offers the most comprehensive search, convenient email alerts and information to empower consumers to make better buying decisions.

Since its launch in 2005, Oodle has grown rapidly and attracts over two million unique visitors each month. Oodle is currently available in the U.S., U.K. and Canada. In addition, the Oodle Network powers classifieds for over 200 leading brands, including Cox Interactive, Media General, The Washington Post, San Diego Union Tribune and Lycos. The Oodle Network offers media companies and portals a proven business model for free listings and the best classifieds marketplace for their customers.

Oodle is also available in the UK (www.oodle.co.uk) and Canada (canada.oodle.com).
