ZAZAM! OFFERS NEW TECHNOLOGICAL TWIST TO CLASSIFIEDS AND SOCIAL MEDIA
(San Francisco, CA) – ZAZAM!, the ultimate new-age classifieds and social networking site for those looking to buy, sell or trade goods and services is here! Completely free and user-friendly, Zazam’s model has the same feel as the most popular social networking and online sites allowing new users to jump right in with an established level of comfort. Zazam combines the selling concepts of eBay with Craigslist’s ideology, Twitter’s social networking abilities, Facebook’s type of messaging system and the search muscle of Google for a high-powered online marketplace that is truly magic.

Zazam’s philosophy is "less is more”, believing that most people have more than they need in terms of possessions, many that they don’t need, want or use. So Zazam takes bartering on the web to a new level by easily allowing users to turn their “stuff” into cash, products or services that they actually want and need. Like Twitter users have 140 characters to write each post; 70 characters max for the offering and 70 to describe what they want. One photo per submission is also allowed. Communication to negotiate or arrange a transaction between sellers and interested parties is available via a messaging platform that is similar to Facebook’s. There is also the ability for users to link Zazams to their Twitter account, which automatically generates a tiny url using the domain zaz.am to link back to their posts.
Search the site just as you would on Google and shop or trade among a plethora of possibilities – gamers can buy, sell or trade their games; it’s a virtual used bookstore for students and fashionista’s can go shopping without spending a dime. Users are also able to barter and trade their services and crafts for ‘stuff’ others may have. For example, a graphic designer can trade their design service for a much-wanted ipod. Independent contractors and businesses are able to reach out to the community and offer local, national or international products and services; find clients, jobs or employees. Follow anyone or any groups that you have interest in and setup a local trade community with people that you trust.
Zazam is the creation of Internet entrepreneur Jacob Zimmerman, who is the CEO and President of the San Francisco based online business Restaurants For Sale Online (RFSO). During his time at RFSO Jacob also oversaw development of RestaurantGuide and the Business For Sale Exchange network of over 250 websites.
