MyUlist is Targeting the Lucrative College Classified Market

Think of the Facebook and Craigslist smashed together into a very lively mashup of classifies for college students. MyUlist is just that, featuring articles on their site have been submitted by college students across the country- giving the site a little “local flavor” – which I think is one of the key ingredients for any new site to stand out in a crowded web 2.0 world.

One drawback that MyUlist requires a .edu email address to participate, but unlike other social networks, this stipulation actually makes sense and, honestly, makes the environment much more smoothly run and friendly to doing business.

The company hasn’t launched across the nation yet, the main pilot test is at UNC, but it’s also testing Cal, Penn, Stanford and Drexel and they have plans to be nationwide very soon.

The companies founder, David Yu has funded the company thus far and is looking for more funding from interested parties.
