I am really slow these days- before I could really figure out who and why should be using it - Edgeio closed the door. Yes, I syndicated my listings to edgeio, but couldn't understand why anyone would go there to look for real estate listings. Here is an announcement from their website (http://www.edgeio.com):
February 2, 2008
edgeio’s assets were sold in December 2007, partly to Looksmart (the live service; the patents; the code; the trademarks) and partly to Vast.com (the real-estate related services).
Please direct all inquiries to one of those companies.
This blog will remain in existence as a historical record of edgeio.
edgeio was an audacious effort to build a fully distributed classified advertising platform for the Internet. It allowed any web site to post classifieds whilst having them syndicated, through edgeio, to any other web site. Aggregation and Distribution are going to be key to may new applications which seek to provide the glue between publishers and readers. edgeio can serve as a model for developers and product designers who seek to build on its legacy.
So, I looked for more informattion to understand what really happened. Here are some links:
