This new site I've found is called LifePlat, from what I've gathered, it's basically a modern, better Craigslist.
I've found a few main differences.... it's obviously more colorful than Craigslist , they have an updated feel and the biggest difference is that anyone can post a task which needs to be done, and people bid on it. The poster chooses 1 person to complete the task. We've all used Craigslist and we all know how annoying it is to get a million e-mails from people with their resumes.... On this site people just post bids right on the site, and the user chooses 1 person.
It also says that they're soon implementing video embedding, so the poster can actually post a video for potential clients to watch. Also, another feature coming soon is that when you create a post, you can choose to designate a pin point on the map for users to search and find your post through pining a world map.
It all seems really cool to me, I just found it and figured I'd spread the word to all of you!
Hi all I accidentally bought 2 U.S. Diamonds and am selling one. Here's the link.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=12007907#post12007907

380$ USD Shipped. Paypal only. U.S. shipping only.

i have a question
1- how can i trust you on these deals???
if i send the money and you dont send the phone, what happen?what is the next step?
Sorry to say, but this is considered #SPAM#......
I think it's not allowed to make a new Thread about this....think normally it's better to PM each other and maybe post a Thread like this in the 'off topic' forum here on XDA....

You are right to feel apprehensive but there are mostly good people in the world. "Usually" if a person has a high post count and a LONG history they can be trusted. And that's where you get the best deals. That Diamond was practically brand new. Sold and shipped for $380 USD.
We should maybe close this thread now...
Hi,
I am Wen. Alot of you know me for either working on XDA's front page or WMPoweruser.
Well I am looking for someone that would be willing to work for one of my sites.
The site is new, and I just made it last night after being bored.
The site is a general phone site, so can talk about any phone news, which means your job is really easy.
All you do is:
Find 10 interesting news anywhere in the web about phones( I like smartphones more than dumb phones, but either works)
Write about it.. with good English and grammar.
Post it or schedule it to post the next day 1 hour apart.
This job isn't hard, and you will get paid for it. And if your good enough, you will either get a raise or I will find a bigger higher paying site for you, but only if you work hard.
What are the benefits of being an editor. Well you get to review phones(right now, I have the Palm Pre, Pixi, Motorola Droid, Devour and more. all to review). you get free things(right now I have the Jabra Stone, and Jabra Halo).
You can have all that if you work hard enough, and this job doesnt require much.
My pay can be discussed if you PM me.
BTW you might want to know that site you will write for:
MobileBlab
Its only 24 Hours old
A couple qualifying questions...is this US-based equipment? How do you anticipate to have the editor experience the technology first hand so they can write about it. I'm sure that you don't want someone to write about things second-hand. I mention this because you cannot steal photos and stories from others without subscribing to their site or network.
you read sites and write news... i dont need a reviewer just yet. and yes usa
Which is the same thing, you should not be stealing stories from other sites or write about news second hand. You've got to be able to put up stories that don't exist elsewhere, especially in the digital world today. What you need is underground sources that can feed information to your "editors" to put out stories. The only way to take second-hand information, from stories that already exist on the web, and use them to your advantage is to aim your site at a specific section of the market. Even then, you need permission to run the story and pictures.
A perfect example is Tmonews.com. They take stories and just publish the ones that are relevant to T-Mobile users. A generic phone site won't catch on.
I DO, however, have an idea that will catch on because I'm not seeing it elsewhere right now and it would be the perfect time to market the site. PM me if what I say makes sense and you're interested.
I am not quite sure what your saying because all the sites do that.. its not called stealing unless you dont link back to them.... Engadget is the biggest example alot of their news are from other sites.. so they just link to them and use the news.
So... ya.
But I will PM you to see what you have to say

I'm not a news follower but rather a tweaker/tester kind of guy. I share my discoveries with the rest of the world with nice tutorials.
If you need someone to write easy-to-follow guides or to review phones (I tried every platform but WebOS and Nokia's), then I'm your man. You can see samples of what I write on my blog (blog.nicolasbouliane.com).
UPDATE: By the way, you won't get many visitors with copypasta since most people refer to a single site for these news (generally Gizmodo) and won't like reading the same stuff a day later on another blog. A simple description with a referal (à-la Lifehacker) will do the job for anything that's not original content. You should instead try getting visits from Googlers looking for a specific topic.
I would be very interested in this type of position. Where would I need to submit a sample of my work? FYI, hiring a woman with tech knowledge is very chic these days
So you girls really do exist!
Really, a female.. great ill PM you... now I need One more.. and If I get more than 1, I have more than 1 sites... I have http://theandroidfeed.com and http://mobileosnews.com
count me in I'm pretty there when it comes to phone news
what do I have to do generally
I still think you should be more specific in your market.
Answer this question: Why should I go to mobileblab over engadget, mobilecrunch, techcrunch, cnet, wmexperts, or coolsmartphone?

well engadget, cnet, == iphone bias and I know when I read a phone review site I get tired of those biases personally
taking a look at mobileblab I think it has potential but that's just my opinion of course...gotta start somewhere

Very true, but that was the same question that was answered when Engadget and Mobilecrunch linked stories to my other site....
Engadget doesnt post as much news as my other site does.. and ya, thats why I have a regular reader base, because the readers know this.

I hate Apple and I've never seen that bias before.
Cnet, just watch their comperison videos.. Iphone never losses.. but not much Engadget.. but Gizmodo does.
Hey guys!
Am looking to save some money! Perhaps to buy an Optimus 2X.
I just signed up for Amazon referrals.
If anyone out here uses Amazon regularly or if you are planning to buy something off Amazon within next few days, please use my referral link!
http://t.co/zdBfI03
You could pass the link to your friends and family too. xD
Thanks!
PS: It sounds like spam but duh, since this is off-topic and hopefully am planning to get something related to xda, I hope nobody is offended.
Just got some new ebooks... from brian tracy and anthony robbins-

Using my link? Wow, thanks. If you didn't use my link this time, remember to use it next time. xD
I'm a regular, but I hate clicking links. So yea. Also I think it's against forum rules to post referral links.
If you want to save more, and have a university ID, you can get amazon prime for free.

I doubt there are any rules about referrals in the off-topic forum. That's why I posted here instead of other places.
If you hate clicking links, you could just bookmark it even. lol. Just saying.
I do not use Amazon for my own purchases. I live outside US.
Getting an .edu email elsewhere is easy although my college doesn't have an email system for students.
I'm not a regular there at all. I've ordered two things, both of which were sub-sellers through Amazon.
A strategy guide from 1999 and a key fob have been my purchases.
I will probably order more from Amazon.

Hi xda'ers,
I was checking out the forum and thread rules and found this notice :
"Marketplace RULES / Guidance
The Marketplace is CLOSING for new threads November 19 2012
The Marketplace will CLOSE COMPLETELY Nov 30 2012
Selling, trading and exchanging devices or any item will no longer be permitted in any forum or via Private Messages."
Why is the Marketplace closing? Anybody knows?
(I did a forum search, and couldnt find any leads to it..)
Probably due to, too many people getting ripped off
I'm guessing new mods. First they take our thanks button, now this. I actually sold my N1 sleeve on there, and bought my G2 where I actually met with the seller.
Sent from my Gekko phone.
Hmm, but closing of MP is one thing, the other is, why arent transactions allowed in PMs too?
something big / terrible might have happened? OR something BIGGER might be coming - THE NEW XDA XCHANGE? heh..
Anyway, my guess is something terrible might have happened, so the final decision is to close it down instead ..

Hardly. XDA is a development site, not a buying/selling site, so we're refocusing and to that end eliminating that part of the forum. Buying/selling is just not the business we want to be in. Thread closed.
