Facebook Marketplace is a killer product imo. Depends on your location so probably not in the US where Craigslist exist, or Gumtree in the UK, but in a lot of countries the digital classified market is very barren. Facebook Marketplace is basically filled up the niche perfectly. I really like it and use it almost everyday, pretty much my only use case for Facebook nowadays.
- sefrost 3y agoSame with WhatsApp. It would be impossible for me to have a social life without WhatsApp. It covers so many groups. I managed to get some groups of technical friends to move to other products but I don't think that would be possible with other people. WhatsApp is not just the default group messaging app.... I don't think non-technical people could even name another. Maybe iMessage? But that's only for small and more affluent friendship groups. I don't think anybody would ever have an iMessage group for an apartment building or amateur sports team. It wouldn't even cross anyones mind to use it.
- subpixel 3y agoCraigslist is toast in the US. Still operating but FB marketplace is an order of magnitude more effective and popular.
