Just days after Facebook announced a partnership with online classifieds aggregator, Oodle, the social networking site has rolled-out a seemingly different classified solution.

Facebook’s new “Marketplace” takes a lot of cues from popular classifieds site, Craigslist, and CNET took it for a test drive.

When you post a listing, you first have to select whether you’re listing something or listing that you want something. Then, within that, you can select a category (items for sale, housing, jobs, everything else) and a sub-category within that category. In the “For Sale” category, for example, it’s divided into college-student-friendly sub-categories of books, tickets, electronics, furniture, and everything else. You can add multiple photos, too.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but Facebook is about the only social network I can stand. (Aw, you saw through me. This is a shill to get you to add me as a friend on Facebook—Jordan F McCollum.)

Okay, so there was some news that brought this on. Facebook has traditionally featured few advertisements. On my alma mater’s network, there was usually an ad running in the sidebar, called a “flyer,” often placed by a student. Now they’ve made it easier for students to sell things through their site by partnering with Oodle to provide classifieds. Oodle already featured the ability categorize classifieds by college, it seems like a partnership with Facebook, which was once exclusively for college & high school students, was quite natural.

Well, if you’re going to launch a service that lets you build your own social network, having the name me.com is a great start.

Mashable looks at whether the great brand matches up with the actual service…

me.com’s SNAPP-powered communities are built to be connected in a way that is described as being similar to a shopping center with anchor tenants, specialty retailers, and shared common areas. This means that there are several levels at which to create an individual presence that differs amongst the many networks that can be built and joined within me.com. Their connected community model lets networks the access to the larger me.com network for building their own traffic base. They’ve also integrated the Google AdSense API, so site admin can earn 50% of revenue displayed on their network.
