Don't make a move without Citimove
Posted by Dominic Basulto
The New York Times has a feature on Citimove, a Web site founded by two Manhattan software engineers that enables New Yorkers to find the best movers available by reading customer reviews. In addition, people who are about to move to the Tri-State area can invite bids from "reliable" moving companies.
The site went live about 18 months ago and already attracts about 3,500 unique visitors a month and has lined up advertising from moving companies like MoveMaster and MiniMoveUSA. In many ways, the site acts as a way to cross-check the "man with a van" ads on Craigslist -- while such ads are useful as a jumping off point, they offer no guarantee that the "man with a van" is not a "man with a scam."
Back in January, Kottke had a great post about the "man with a van" cottage industry that has been made possible by Craigslist.
