Send and receive Classified ads from your mobile phone

Still have the habit of searching through Classifieds section of the newspaper when you’re in need of a product/service? Well; it’s obsolete now, to say the least. The service has gone mobile and trust me; this could get really big. Now you can post/get classified ads through text messages right in your mobile phone, that is, if you are in London.

Upingme is a free mobile advertising service which lets you post and receive classified ads in your mobile phone. If you have something to sell, a product or service, you can simply post a classified ad on Upingme. Upingme will send it to people who are interested in buying the product/service you have on offer, without revealing your mobile number. When people respond to your ad, it will be sent to you, without revealing their mobile numbers. In short, Upingme acts as a mediator between the buyer and seller.

The interesting point is, your ad is sent only to people who want to receive it. In other words, Upingme lets people choose their ads. They can subscribe for a particular type of ads and be notified only of those ads. For example, if you are a used car dealer, you can subscribe to ads related to used car selling/buying and be notified whenever someone wants to buy or sell a used car in the city. Now, here’s the most important part – it’s a FREE service.

The service is now available only in London, though I can sense it striking the right chord big time. This will simply replace the need for classifieds in newspapers and can actually be far more effective and quicker. If you are from London, make sure you give it a try and let me know.
