Hello, I am planning to develop a free ads website, and I was wondering what features do you need or what features are existing classifieds websites missing?

I know there's a lot of competition on this niche but I am planning to launch few websites in different Europe countries (UK, Spain, Italy, etc).

I have the website format already and I want it to be easy to use and with useful content. Ads will be added with no registration required, and all ads will be manually approved, so no medicine, work at home, crappy ads will be listed.

Thanks.

Handle responses better. One of CL's weaknesses is how annoying responses get.

I recently posted an ad in NYC and received over 80 replies. But they're all individual emails so there's no easy way to scroll through the replies in a long list like comments and pick out the 3 or 4 quality ones.
