I think kijiji is on its way to getting a foothold in the free classifieds market.
In response to your question , I think it's hard because the value of craigslist is in the breadth of it's listings and readers, not in any technical feature. I think a competitor will likely have to take advantage of an already captive audience. I thought facebook marketplace had a great shot, but it didn't seem like they focused on it much.
