Beaver classifieds join Twitter From the pages of a newspaper to real time online updates -- the Oakville Beaver is revolutionizing the way readers browse the classifieds section. Now that the Beaver's classifieds section has joined Twitter, you can apartment hunt, job search and shop, all while following your favourite friends and celebrities. "Whether you're a job searcher, or looking for articles for sale, or in need of day care myhaltonads will have it," said Krystal London, the Beaver's advertising co-ordinator. "This is really a new way to look at classifieds. We're taking the classifieds to people instead of them coming and looking for classifieds. It seems like everyone is on Twitter, so it's a great way to engage a bigger audience." Now, when residents place a classified advertisement with the Beaver, for an extra $1 their ad will be placed on www.twitter.com/myhaltonads -- where the 45 million people who visit Twitter monthly -- making it the 52nd most visited website worldwide -- will have the chance to view what you're looking to buy and sell. "Adding classifieds to Twitter is sure to be a positive move for our valued customers. It is just another way for us to ensure that clients get the maximum exposure they expect and deserve," said David Harvey, regional general manager of the Halton Division of Metroland West Media Group. "The response has been very positive," said London, adding the new site is working its way up in followers. "We are sure it will be a big hit in Halton." Since all the advertisements are local, users are guaranteed that whatever goods or services they're looking to buy or sell is close by. The localized social tool makes it easy to get the word out ­ to your community and to the Twitter community. "It's the perfect way to stay linked," said London.
