Re:Ask HN: Why isn't this site as successful as Craigslist? by jacobscott on Monday January 26, 2009 @04:35AM (#450206)
Ask yourself: why would kijiji be competitive with craigslist? What advantage do they have?

I suspect:

* Buying pets is not a killer app for craigslist-like sites

* The fancier design is a net negative

craigslist has a pretty good lock on what craigslist does -- they don't charge users for much, have the userbase, have a simple UI.
