Freebie Marketplace Listia Wants To Take On Craigslist In Local Swaps
Listia, the Y Combinator- and Andreessen Horowitz-backed site where people can exchange free goods, is unveiling a new feature called Listia Local in four cities: San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.In a lot of ways, this seems like a natural extension of Listia's basic concept, where people can earn points by giving away items or participating on the site, then use those points to claim free goods.
