This website is a great classifieds service exclusively for Vancouver. Check it out, it's great and has
tons of neat features. Things like private messaging, a user profile and a user review section. Great
stuff when using online classifieds. They take safety to another level. Especially with their dedicated
team monitoring the content of the site. When you can see how others react to a certain user you
are given a sense of comfort knowing how previous buyers felt about the seller. A small innovation
which definitely goes a long way. Check out the site here Simple Spot Vancouver. You can also
visit their forums.
It has general discussions all related to Vancouver. A great place really to chat anything related to
Vancouver. They have moderators there as well to rid the forums of any spam or anything users
complain about. Discussions range from local news, to music, to cars, and so on.
Many people resort to using craigslist due to its higher user content. However many people have
been transferring over and using Simple SpotVancouver due to its exclusive care for the Vancouver
community. Something which i think is great to be honest. Kamal Shokar, one of the founders of Simple
Spot said
"Simple Spot is actually quite funny. Because everyone said that it wouldn't work. However I personally felt that
it would simply because there are a few innovations made to the site that make it a heck of a lot easier to
use, and a lot more enjoyable for the every day person. We were able to teach computer illiterate people
(my mom and my partners mom) how to use the site. That told us that our user interface may have an
advantage over existing competition. But either way, I just felt that it was time that Vancouver could use
an online classifieds site that had slightly more innovation than what was already available."
The user interface is definitely pleasing at first glance, and follows through to the end. When browsing
the content on the site you are given a list and a thumbnail view. Ronaldo, another founder of
Simple Spot said
"The tumbnail view was actually the original concept. That one idea was really what exploded this idea of a
dedicated classifieds site for Vancouver. I just came up with that view one day and thought that it would
work great for browsing a classifieds site. That was until we realized not all people would include images
with their items. So then we introduced the list view. And that definitely did the job."
The list view is great, it allows for easy viewing of user content. And the thumbnail view is for people
that want to filter through ads based on the images provided by the seller. I enjoy browsing through
cars with the thumbnail view because it allows me to just find the type of car i'm interested in
based on the image provided. Since thumbnail view shows images much larger than most
classifieds sites, it helps me find what I'm looking for relatively quickly.
