Newspaper adverts are dead

I don’t read papers much, I prefer the internet. Almost infinite choice of sources. Searchable. Copy and pastable.  Refinable.

Reading through the small ads of a local paper today, I could not believe how difficult it was to find what I was looking for.  Such a narrow choice. No search function.  Just a sea of unsorted nonsense.  There are better ways.

Internet searches can be global but the technology is also necessary for local area searches to make the process actually work. Newspaper adverts, your time is up.
