The Right Website for the Right Job

Posted: April 14th, 2008 | Author: dotblack | Filed under: Tech, UAE | Comments Off

It’s often hard to find a service that’d fulfill your needs and yet has an active business model on the web. Usually it’s either a specialized website that works best or a product of a geeky group who wanted to prove their skills in Web-Development. But finally, in ME, we’re getting some directed, informed, and demanded services right from the businesses that could handle such services.

Of course, some compromises have to be made. Trade some for some. Despite all that, I see a winner in UAE property market Portals. A real winner, in fact not only in the Property corner but everything looked for. Say classifieds.

And that is Gulf News classifieds websites. Now at the first glance their choice of domain names are corny and really old fashioned and not picked wisely or at least picked by geeks, it shows, not business decision out there.

The fact that Gulf News took the initiative to lead and create a dedicated Classifieds website is a joy in itself, it’s happening, the real stuff are coming online in the ME.

If you’re online as much as everybody else then you’d know that so many classifieds websites are out there, so many property portals, so many jobs portals, but I tell ya this, Gulf News is the most picked. And now with it going fully online. Add to that the resources at Gulf News’ disposal, and the number of readers and the offline-online integration of ads display, now that’s a killer, and hey, don’t forget how big the effect of GN is. Check this out

So if you’re smart enough, you already got it, integrate into GN’s portal, if you’ve got a property portal propose an API sharing with GN, share data, mash-up you suckers! Move it! Capitalize on that!
