Facebook offers free classifieds

Social networking service Facebook adds a new Marketplace area where members can post free classified ads. Marketplace works a lot like Craigslist, except you get to see how you know the guy who's selling his old projector. The Times reports:

On Facebook, buyers will be able to see how they are connected to the seller -- the series of links between the friends they share. "There are no anonymous listings, and we give you a very clear path to see how you can trust the other person you are conducting business with," (Facebook founder) Mr. Zuckerberg said.

You can list job and housing opportunities, stuff wanted and items for sale in Facebook Marketplace. —Gina Trapani on Life Hacker
