Craigslist may have a competitor. EBay recently announced a online classified service called Kijiji. The site, Kijiji, has been in operation for more then two years and just recently has made a debut within United States. This will make Kijiji a direct competitor to a well established Craigslist. The funny thing is that EBay also owns 25% of Craigslist and has been on its board for more then three years and has been allowed to see Craigslist from the inside. Now does this give them an advantage and put forth tools that Craigslist is lacking. Only time will tell if Kijiji will be able to overcome the popularity of Craigslist?

Three female and one male ended up in the bottom four. It was Puja, the much favoured Deepali, Charu and Abhishek in the bottom four this week. I think the female are not getting enough votes and the male's contestants seem to be getting a lot more votes from female fans. It was yet another female, Charu, leaving the stage of Indian Idol.

On today's show the girl held there foot down and performed great. The guys will have to suffer a loss this time. From the girls, Ankita performed really good and even pulled the guest star, Govinda, on the stage for song and dance. She was followed by Amit, who for the second time came thru with a great performance.
I think that Prashant, Abhishek, Charu and maybe Puja could end up in the bottom four.
