Kerawa, Classified ads for Africa
2008 May 22
Kerawa a new website that is currently in Beta, offers free classifieds and aims to cover all of Africa. The site is available in French as well, which makes it more accessible. The ads are split by country, city and categories. You can place an ad with out registration, just a simple confirmation via email. It also displays the hottest ads based on the hits along the sidebar. Additional features inlclude letting you email(spam?) your entire gmail/hotmail/yahoo contact list with a particular Ad. The site was developed in Cameroon and this seems to be the most popular country with the most amount of ads.

Hum,
Is it spam when you write yourself to all your contacts?
Is it spam when Facebook or LinkedIn allow you to invite all your contacts form Live, Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, etc..?
Is it spam when Yahoo allow you to send an article to an entire Yahoogroup (or even many yahoogroups)?
Kerawa let you choose if you want it or not, you are not obliged to. So, I don’t see where is spam
Thanks for the article. As you said, we are in Beta, and are constantly improving our product.
Fee, great work and keep trucking!
@hum It could be used to SPAM, since the ad would be sent unsolicited. Think about it this way, i capture a SPAMMY ad (Make money online etc etc.). I have a Gmail account with tons of emails linked to it and use that feature to send a mass email.
With regards to inviting your friends: You are inviting them to a service, to connect with you. And googlegroups, they sign up so its not unsolicited. Keep well.
@Ismail,
this is just one of the creations from Cameoroon. Watch out for more from the most bilingual country in the world. We have the skills no other country in Africa’s got. And soon we will be taking over Africa one country at a time
@FEE,
Kudos and Kudos once more my bros
@Nino,
I think he has a point, because anonymous contact importing and sending of mails can be abusive if not controlled and guys might tend to hate on kerawa and not their friends.
Hey guys,
With kerawa, kera-wise your ads.
