New York City, NY ( PRWEB ) August 6, 2009 -- OLX , one of the largest classifieds sites in the world and direct competitor with Craigslist, is joining forces with hi5 , a fellow global powerhouse. Already providing services to many social networks such as Friendster, MySpace Latin America, Fotolog and Sonico, OLX's new partnership with hi5 has immense potential to benefit both companies by providing additional exposure to the international audiences that each targets. The partnership makes the 70 million unique visitors each month across 90 countries on OLX available to hi5's global user base of over 60 million monthly unique visitors worldwide. Joining forces, OLX and hi5 aim to strengthen their hold on the Latin American market, and accelerate their growth in the rest of the world.
"Like OLX, hi5 has a strong and growing global presence. We're excited about this new partnership because it will bring some great new features to loyal users of each site. It provides more social promotion features to OLX users and it provides a new classifieds platform for hi5 users," says Fabrice Grinda, Co-CEO of OLX. "We expect it to also attract new users, who will find a better social networking and online classifieds experience than they can get anywhere else."
