Craigslist For The Military
Mark this one down as a fairly obvious opportunity, and I’m surprised it’s taken this long for someone to build it. Sammy Villarreal, an active duty U.S. Marine for the last 11 years, has seen his share of foreign deployments. He’s been to Iraq, Okinawa and the Philippines. He missed Craigslist back home during these times away, and thought it would make sense to create a Craigslist type site for military personnel.
Villarreal hired a programmer and launched MyMilitaryClassifieds.com (catchy name), a free classifieds site organized by military installation. It’s just launching and so there isn’t much content on the site yet (and there are a couple of typos), but if you’re, say, in the Navy and stationed in Iceland, this might be a good place to sell those unwanted DVDs.
It seems natural that a military portal like Military.com would have already launched a classifieds site based on military installations, but as far as I can tell they haven’t. Of course, Military.com is owned by job site Monster.com, so the last thing they probably want is free classified ads, including job postings, on their site.
