Targro

This site is new and they've done a good job making it extremely easy to use. The site is mainly about classified listings but it also has an events calendar, where people can promote their events and there is a section for writers to publish/share short stories. In a couple of months its grown to feature over 100,000 listings from all over the world so it is a nice place to browse for what you might be looking for.

The site covers over 20 countries and 2000 cities so it is truly global. The regular classified ad listing is free but you are limited to posting in 1 city only. If you want to target more cities/countries, you can use the 'featured ad' option which allows you to post the same ad in multiple cities/countries at a very reasonable price starting from £0.01 per city. Featured listings will also get premium positions throughout the site.

If you are a business owner and looking to get your products out there, there is nothing to lose by giving this Craigslist Alternative a try.
