“InfoBeat Classifieds is a great way for our subscribers and worldwide email users to find job opportunities, merchandise, even romance through the personals,” said John Funk, InfoBeat chairman and founder. “With the addition of InfoBeat Classifieds, we now provide an entire ‘newspaper’ via email–personalized news, weather, sports, stocks, entertainment, seasonal snow reports and classifieds.”
InfoBeat Classifieds is available for free through the company’s main Web site. Users indicate which items they would like to purchase within these categories: vehicles, computers, employment, rentals, real estate, personals and business opportunities. Then, when items they are interested in become available, InfoBeat Classifieds automatically alerts buyers via email.
