Last month,
the Independent announced that it had partnered with 12 local media outlets in the region to create
SoCoAds.com, a classified web portal designed to compete with Craigslist with local ads gleaned from more than 500 national websites.
ColoradoBiz thinks that SoCoAds.com may already have a leg up on Craigslist, since the site can buy advertising. The media companies have collectively invested $50,000 in premium ad and broadcast space to support SoCoAds.com in a big one-month starting push. In addition,
ColoradoBiz reports the site won't allow prostitution services and other questionable listings, "because Colorado Springs is not that kind of market."
