AOL + Oodle = AOL Classifieds  —  Oodle as become the vendor/partner of choice it would appear for third parties seeking to add or beef up classifieds — a missed opportunity for eBay/Kijij.  Today AOL launched a new classifieds site: Classifieds.AOL.com.  There's also a Canadian specific site at Classifieds.AOL.ca.
