This week’s Web 2.0 Wrap-up comes off the Oodle blog. You’re probably familiar with CraigsList, an online classified service where you can post your listings. Oodle is very similar. But they’ve added a very cool feature, that allows you to share your new listings (whether they’re homes, or just household items you need to get rid of!) on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. This is a great way to get additional exposure for new home listings – you never know when a listing might end up being the dream home for someone in your network!
From their site -
Today, Oodle released the first part of our Twitter integration. Now you can post your listing on Oodle and automatically share it with friends on Twitter (as well as your friends on Facebook and MySpace). Listings are tweeted into your Twitter stream where your followers see it immediately.
We are also tweeting all of the listings posted directly into our network onto Oodle’s Twitter account. This will enable users searching on Twitter to have access to hundreds of thousands of fresh, relevant classifieds listings each day. So whether you are looking for a job, rental, house, car — or something else, you will be able to search Twitter using keywords matching your query (e.g. Burlingame Honda Accord) to find relevant, real-time matches.
In both cases, tweets link back to listings tied to online profiles from Oodle, Facebook, MySpace, etc., so you get a better idea of who you are dealing with.
More interesting Twitter-related features coming soon. Stay tuned as classifieds get more social.
I love that last sentence – “Stay tuned as classifieds get more social.” Everything seems to be going social these days, because it’s just such a great way to get additional exposure and extra eyeballs on your listings. And now is the time to take advantage of it, before tools like this become really common and part of the “noise” of social networking. If you develop the reputation and trust from your networking by sharing valuable info regularly, they will continue to interact and connect with you, even when they’re tuning out noise from a lot of the other people that start doing the same thing down the road.

Hi Rich,
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement and am emphatically nodding my head up and down,”…they will continue to interact and connect with you, even when they’re tuning out noise from a lot of the other people that start doing the same thing down the road”.
