Riyaz,

I don't know what value add there is to develop an app that does what
craiglist or FB does and call it a new name? Innovation is far much
more than the name it has to be the functionality first, and imitating
will just make you a poor imitator always.

Look at Nation Media Group with Zquka (however it's spelt), it's
doesn't account for innovation
