Strange Duck - Tech Talk in Plain English

I just came across this Classified ad site which has just launched called Canuck.ca, which is offering Canadians the opportunity to advertise their goods for free.

Free is always good, but Canuck aims to go a bit further by becoming the first Canadian Classifieds website that enables people to include free video into any classified ad -  the idea here being that if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video should sell the object itself.

They also have a button that allows you to switch to a French text version of the site. Truly Canadien.

Organized by main city, the Canuck site has a pretty interface (that means design or look basically) and is divided up logically into 8 main categories; For Sale, Animals, Personals, Jobs, Community, Motors, Services and Housing. From there it is further subdivided into a whole bunch of subcategories.

Each subcategory has its own RSS feed, so that you can be notified when a new post is added to it. If you want to learn about RSS feeds adn how they can save you time, I’ve written a cheat sheet on They also have button that allows you to switch to French text.

Canuck is brand new and still in beta, so if you run across a problem, let them know and they will fix it. In the meantime, distinguish yourself by being one of the first to post on a brand-spanking new web site.
