ChamList.com is the first site developed and launched by Close2Edge and aims to provide a free listings directory for everything… from Real Estate, to jobs.. through to second hand items being flogged by your average Hasan. It is very much based on UGC (User Generated Content) and is completely free.

One of the issues we’ve had to deal with is the vicious cycle…
* Being a UGC site we need to attract and encourage users to post their content…
* But without any content and no audience… how do you encourage UGC?

Anyway, we think we’ve found a solution to this problem and will keep you posted…

It has highlighted the hunger and demand for categorized and structured information in the Syrian business sector… and we aim to develop and enhance that over the coming months with some very ambitious product development.
