This article didn't bother to list the contents of the graveyard, so I tried. But all I can find are success stories:

* Kajiji - popular in Canada (according to another poster)

* OLX - popular in Spain and Latin America [crunchbase]

* okcupid

* AirBnB (mentioned in post)

* StubHub

* Etsy

* Legal Zoom

* Elance



The biggest part of the graveyard is the profitable part of nearly every print newspaper.


Is it fair to list okcupid as a direct competitor? I think dating sites, with the social profile aspect, is almost fundamentally different than a personals ad.

I guess you could argue that is the case with airbnb, but I don't think the transaction type is more limited than the kinds that happen in relationships.

Maybe the better comparison would be PlentyOfFish


AFAIK OKCupid has never considered craigslist to be a competitor


LesPAC.com is popular in Quebec (Being French). Kajiji and LesPAC both get buyers up there.
