Abstract

A method and system for providing social media ecosystem classified listings. Plural classified listings are accepted and displayed by the social media ecosystem in plural different categories for plural different geographic locations. Social index values and social commerce connections for plural user who posted the plural classified listings are created or updated when a classified listing is viewed or a purchase is made for a good or service listed in plural classified listings. Public access is provided to the plural classified listings via plural public search engines and plural social media sites. However, communication with a user who posted a classified listing is private and to communicate a viewer of a classified listing is required to enter information to log into a private system. Public search of classified listings is provided with private communication security and also ensuring the social media index values and social commerce connections of the plural users who have posted classified listings are properly updated in the social media ecosystem. The social media ecosystem classified listing services are provided on a cloud communications network for mobile and non-mobile devices.
