Classifieds is perfect fit for hyperlocal sites. You could argue that finding out about an upcoming event or a house round the corner coming onto the market is news in itself. I’m the General Manager of http://www.oodle.co.uk, the UK’s largest index of classifieds content. We’d love to work with local sites to

1. Enhance their local content with ours via our API (http://developer.oodle.com) or widgets

2. Provide a new revenue stream for these sites by sharing the money we make from the clicks to our listings

If anyone is interested feel free to email me at duncan@corp.oodle.com

@Ed Kuryluk
You should check out what the team at Growthspur.com seems to be doing. They seem to have something very interesting for local bloggers.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Philip. It looked like they only had a presence in a handful of locales in the US.

Addiply is already in use internationally, including Italy, USA, France, Netherlands. You can see the network that's built up on their site.
