I recently read a post on this from TechCrunch back in Feb 14th 2008 and was intrigued by Kijiji.
There have been numerous craigslist clones that have tried to duplicate craigslist, but unsuccessfully. The beauty of craigslist in my opinion is the fact that it has its roots and foundation in the 'community' at the 'ground level' if you will.
Craig Newmark the founder of Craigslist started with an email highlighting great events with the San Fransisco area and from there saw a need to a central place to freely announce events and eventually classifieds.
By having a slick corporate produced application like Kijiji it has been interesting to see it take off like this.
Plus the name. blah. I hated it. Now its growing on me, and obviously others.

1.8 million spammers
3/4 of those 1.8 million users no doubt are spammers, marketers with multiple accounts. Find all these kids at forums.digitalpoint.com and other marketing forums. Nothing new. The same goes with Facebook, digg, myspace, etc. Too many useless, duplicate, and dead accounts.
