Marktplaats introduces ‘Mapview’

Dutch classified-site (and EBay-owned) Marktplaats, introduces ‘Mapview’ today. This is interesting because apparently people want to see what is offered locally. First sites like this gave us transparancy in all offerings on a wide geographical scale. Now we get inspired by things we did not (yet) know we might need (pun intended!), simply because the seller is nearby. There is also an interesting social component to this: I, for example, didn’t know my neighbour is selling his rather new Mercedes-Benz for only € 40.000! Now that’s a story at the schoolyard tomorrow!
