I had never heard of unbundling before. I wonder what value taking something like Craigslist and breaking it up into dozens of areas really adds. I guess Indeed, Airbnb, etc. have some proprietary systems for matching people with jobs/rentals, but aren’t a lot of these services location-based anyway? If I am looking for a job, is Indeed’s algorithm orders of magnitude more effective than just filtering by city and occupation in a simple Craiglist search? I can see these unbundled sites adding some value, but enough value to be cumulatively worth way, way more than Craigslist? It seems doubtful to me, even if they do offer some benefits. It just seems like it would be a lot easier if we all just used a simple classified ads site instead of dozens of closed platforms with hype/marketing behind what is not really a new service.
