  • Does this site allow you to place video on it? There has been a lot of success on American websites that allow sellers of Real Estate and Cars to place video on the site to make it unique and help sell their products. What do you think?

  • Why shouldn't emerging economies copy what is happening in other successful Western economies? Video is available worlwide to anyone at the likes of YouTube. Cannot see that real estate, cars will make the site unique!
