From nytimes.com:

Facebook, the social networking Web site, is adding free classified ad listings, putting it into competition with dozens of established companies like Craigslist and many newspapers.
Facebook, which has 22 million active users, more than half of them in high school or college, hopes that the new feature will offer yet another reason for users to return to its site regularly, instead of going elsewhere to conduct their Internet business.

I recently signed up to Facebook after seeing some people post about it in the Inside The Magic Forums. Now I know why I couldn’t any of my friends or old classmates using the site, since half of its users are still in school.
I think being able to have free classifieds is a cool idea, although I’ve been using MySpace for a while now and just found out in this article that they already offer free classifieds. But as many agree – myspace is sometimes a mess for finding anything.
