When Oodle launched back in April of 2005, their goal was to consolidate the widely scattered classifieds space and provide users with a central location for searching and shopping for online classifieds. Almost two years later, Oodle has collected data from hundreds of millions of online listings and has launched the Oodle Index as a means to help shoppers better understand pricing trends and find those hidden classifieds bargains.
I had a chance to speak to Oodle CEO and founder, Craig Donato, earlier this week and he walked me through the various features the Oodle Index will offer at launch. Hoping to become the "Kelly Blue Book of Classifieds", the Oodle Index will be integrated with Oodle's search results and utilized by clicking the "Pricing" link. Users will have access to some neat interactive charts which will show pricing and inventory trends, tailored to their geographic location.
