I have just received an announcement from a startup Arzoola that introduced Social Call!, the application that its creators brand as "the world's first Craigslist application".

Craigslist has long been known as the king of classifieds sites and for good reason. It is completely free of charge and utilizes a simple, no-frills design that gets the job done whether you like the look or not.
