Localnote.com.au - Aussie Classifieds With A Twist

If you’re in Australia and are in search of something that could be found in the classified section of your local newspaper, you might want to save that Australian dollar and look at a free online posting board instead. LocalNote is an interesting community that caters to all the major Australian cities and surrounding areas by allowing users to post sticky notes on a “bulletin board” describing what they’re offering or what they’re in need of. The site is divided much like any classified section would be; categories include housing, jobs, personals, for sale, and community. To post, select your location (eg Melbourne, VIC), choose a category (for sale), a sub-category (bikes), and create your note. If you’re looking for something, you can browse the stickies by category. You can minimize or close ones that you’re not interested in, or you can expand them to read more about what’s being offered and save them to your account favorites if you’re a registered user.

“LocalNote provides interactive community notice boards and services.


Just as every location and community have their own high-value physical notice boards, LocalNote strives to deliver this value online and extend beyond obvious (and fun) metaphors to create high-value interactive media for locations and communities”

LocalNote provides a fun and innovative atmosphere to post classified ads. Its interface is a refreshing change from run-of-the-mill classified sites which more often than not leave something to be desired in terms of aesthetics.

Only about nine sticky notes fit on the bulletin board at a given time; what happens when each section becomes too crowded? It’s not clear which notes are given viewing priority, if any.
