Geoli.st disrupts the free classifieds model

Geoli.st Version 2 for the iPhone, currently available for download at the Appstore, brings major and yet unseen changes in the way classifieds can be created by leveraging the power of geolocalization features, bar codes and product image recognition.

Geoli.st invents automatic classified creation on mobile, start selling in 10 seconds…

A great number of classifieds applications for smartphones only use the navigation and interface from the websites they came from. Ebay classifieds, OLX, and others use interfaces directly inherited from the web without using the power of smartphones.

 

Writing texts or descriptions on a portable phone is often difficult; navigation among dozens of screens is tedious.

Geoli.st is building for and empowering the mobile phone customer – creating, not an extension of existing mediums, but rather a new Mobile-centric one.

Geoli.st version 2 (currently in appstore for validation) offers semi-automatic, geo-localized classified creation. In just a few seconds you can create and broadcast your classified:

 
How do you want to create your classified?

Using the bar code:

Identify the bar code of the product you would like to sell.	The Iphone scans the code and finds the product, then displays the photo, the description and the category; you only need to set the price and publish the classified.

 

Using image recognition:

Take a photo of the product you would like to sell.
Geoli.st looks for the description of the product via image analysis.	The classified is ready to be published

Garage sales go virtual

If you have more books than shelves but no time to prepare and run a garage sale – Geolist has just the ticket...

Read on Women's Health Magazine :

"Have a Virtual Garage Sale"

Craigslist will seem so, well, quaint, once you check out Geoli.st (www.geoli.st), a new smartphone app that's like classified ads on steroids. It helps you quickly sell pretty much anything to buyers in your area (which means you can avoid shipping to far-flung buyersand get paid in person). So take a photo of, say, that old bike you never ride or the concert tickets you can't use, upload it to Geoli.st, and buyers in your area will automatically see it pop up on their local sales map. Plus, Geoli.st lets you instantly upload your for-sale stuff to Twitter and Facebook too, so you can double your seller's luck. 

Increase your selling power with social media links on Geolist

Sellers using Geolist can promote their ads and increase selling power by automatically linking into social networks like Facebook and Twitter. In just a few clicks sellers are posting items for sale, with a price, description and photo, to appear within the area of their choice. And every classified can also be shared with the seller’s contacts in Facebook and Twitter to maximizes its reach and selling power.

Geoli.st reinvents the free classifieds distribution model

The central idea that guided the development of this application was to evolve the distribution model for free classifieds.

Often listed in columns in the traditional press, online classifieds services quickly benefited from the power of search and the interactivity of the Internet. The success of services such as Craiglist and Ebay classifieds transformed and popularized access to good deals.

The arrival of the portable telephone will enable the expansion of the distribution model, which has been fixed for 200 years, thanks to GPS localization or GSM triangulation. It will be possible to be near places where one can find interesting deals for consumption or to discover in real time.

This distribution model is characterized by a localized base of classifieds that adapts to a geographic, social and cultural micro environment.

In addition to geolocalization, the social dimension allows the publication of one’s offer on networks such as Facebook and Twitter, finding an instantaneous and qualified audience.

This service therefore corresponds very well to traditional needs and consumption habits, favoring local human contact which had practically disappeared from the web.

This application is available for free download from the App store, and covers the US, UK and Canada in terms of content. French and multilingual versions will be implemented in the near future.

Geoli.st offers now several million classifieds as well as geo-localized coupons in the United States, Canada and England; free classifieds are geo-localized and linked to major social networks.

Both businesses and individuals can use this application, which is available on the Iphone.
