This past weekend we integrated the facebook platform into junkdepot, or is it the other way around? Overall it was quite simple to do. The ability to add a huge social network into your app was too tempting to ignore! When you add the app into your profile it will place your recent listings into your profile and when you use the app from facebook it shows our google mashup with options to filter the map based on your friends, groups, affiliations, or everyone together.

Facebook has a great classifieds service but doesn’t let people from the outside view the listings. When you buy or sell something, your reach is only as wide as your social network. With Junkdepot you can reach everyone. We submit your listings to the big classified services like: google base, hi5, vast and edgeio (not to mention your profile). You can choose to search listings from your friends, classmates, groups or everyone else in our interactive junk map.

Don’t worry, we use Rapleaf reputations to keep things ethical and of course it’s free as beer. Try it out!
