Craigslist does this, to an extent.

Why would someone use this instead of Craigslist?

good name, but isn't this craigslist? If it is, then you should be clear why it's better/faster/easier, if it's not, then you should be clear what it solves that craigslist doesn't.

It is like Craigslist, if Craigslist actually cared at all about usability and UI!

Craigslist might be a better comparison.

Craigslist isn't participating? That's surprising!

Think Craigslist - totally clunky UI that totally dominates its market
