This is to obvious an area for FB to not enter aggressively, but many more like this and the utility of the API could be questioned.
For all intensive purposes, CollegeMedium will remain free of charge for all our users.
With comments like these:
“thanks guys. i got my roommate through this awesome website. thanks again!â€
“advertise on google and facebook so ppl know about ur terrific service. thanks for keepin it students only ..ashâ€
“MAKE MORE POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS AWARE THAT THEY CAN ADVERTISE THEIR JOBS ON COLLEGEMEDIUM.â€
I see no reason to change course.

It certainly took you long enough to come around to implementing this one.
Pete -- are you on the payroll? Zuckerberg throw you some stock or something?
Seriously, why would a company with billions of pageviews/month care about getting coverage on blogs? They don't.
I would never base a business on someone else's API, it's far too risky unless you're able to either transcend the parent site, or tie your site into several APIs and not be totally dependent on the host. I wish Emmanual well, but would advise him to start diversifying his offerings to add value on top of the Facebook angle. Oh, and it's "intents and purposes".
We're working to do just that. Coming Fall 07.
Consider ebay. I hate using it but I do because if I want to sell something, I'm much better off paying ebay a few dollars and virtually guaranteeing a sale than using any number of cheaper / better / nicer sites.
I recently launched my own college classifieds site called scribble (www.scribblehq.com). Luckily for me, it's a programming/web development exercise and not a venture. The only thing I've invested is time.
for us lazy ones :)
As far as we know, it was sent out to a handful of specific college networks. Can't confirm/deny whether they used data from those utilizing the API, but it seems unlikely: they would have wanted a response from all users, not just those predisposed to using classifieds.
And, anyone who thinks that just because Facebook or TedsLocalFishBait.com has classifieds, that no one else can compete, is also delusional. Big world we live in. To borrow a line from Lewis Black - "Here's the globe. See... Countries!"
Classifieds are one of the biggest misunderstanding of a web based business. It's fun watching everybody jump up and offer a listing service.
The first problem: few are relevant.
The second problem: these sites try to cover all colleges and end up with only a handful of of ads here or there.
The third problem: classifieds are a devalued commodity. How can you charge $1 or $10 when everyone is offering the same customer the same free ad?
The fourth problem: college students do not pay the bills. Get it? They don't put money in the pockets of these college centered listing services - period. They will spend $600 on an iPhone (want one), and 600 hours on Facebook, but they won't spend $0.60 on a classified. And when it comes time to sell that bicycle, the'll post it on Facebook, CraigsList, and TedsLocalFishBait.com if it has any traffic at all. It's not a win or loose situation.
Finally, even if, scratch that, WHEN Facebook adds classifieds, they will still lack the broader advertiser who is looking to reach college students. Trust me on this. Talk with Sally Joe Johnson about her ad in the local paper and you will begin to understand.
Now, who the hell am I to say this? First, I've worked directly with college newspapers for 11 years, in the classified ad market. Second, since March 1, CollegeClassifieds.com (as tracked by Google) has reached over 16,000 users and served 86,000 page views. I know classifieds and I know college markets.
What will work in the "college classifieds" space? Relevancy, honesty, quality listings, effective syndication, upgrade paths, marketing and a REAL understanding of who is the customer and who is the audience.
Congratulations to Facebook.com and TedsLocalFishBait.com. Join the orgy!
a great place to buy and sell items in your own trusted network. no fraud.
"why not charge $1/posting, thus keeping out spam and guaranteeing a nice revenue stream?"
Some possibilities:
1) They're planning to follow the Craigslist model where job listings are premium.
2) Starts out free, becomes premium later. When Facebook introduced their fliers, they lured early adopters with a ridiculously low CPM.
"Unintentional, perhaps, and probably inevitable, but those using APIs always run the risk that a site will launch its own version."
Blizzard does a similar thing with World of Warcraft. They offer a developer API and subsume the most popular plugins into the official game. Of course, there really isn't a way to monetize plugins for a game, so the comparison is probably a little unfair here. Still, it's nice to have an army of guinea pigs at your disposal.
