    2016 was both a scary and exciting year for the online marketplace industry. As we enter 2017 there are a lot of unknown questions. Will Facebook continue its push into the classifieds territory? What will Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn actually mean?

    Can fake news and reviews be combated, and will Amazon and Facebook win with their current approach?

    We will continue researching, reporting, and commenting on industry trends and news here at Implio in 2017 so make sure you sign up for our blog!

    Thank you for an exciting 2016. See you in the new year.
