,----[ Quote ]
| Gumtree.com initially began as a local online community notice board and now
| covers over 70 cities across 8 countries. The first classifieds site in the
| UK to launch integrated map technology to help users locate flatshares,
| rentals and stuff for sale ‘at a glance’, Gumtree.com has also met a real
| appetite among users for embedding YouTube videos into traditional classified
| ads. Its recent expansion into Asia and the success of its new tools and ‘add
| ons’ have boosted UK listings to a record 10 million. Such extraordinary
| growth requires a solid technology foundation for coping with huge surges in
| website traffic.
