While Craigslist founder Craig Newmark insists that online classified ads are not solely to blame for the decline in newspaper revenue, more and more online marketplaces are popping up. And they're partnering with sites like Facebook and Friendster, not just news sites.

Friendster's new service launched today, and it's a partnership with OLX. In fact, basically what you get if you click the "classifieds" tab at the top of Friendster is a redirect to an OLX page with items for sale, real estate, job listings and the other usual classified fare. Atop the page is the Friendster logo and some links to other Friendster sections.

OLX and Friendster will split the revenue generated by the multi-year deal. But there don't seem to be any Friendster-specific features. Basically, the partnership will help introduce Friendster users to OLX. There's no way to say, share postings with just the people in your friends group or offer jobs to people you know.
