1193356 - [hr] Add http://www.njuskalo.hr/ to list of search providers in Croatian Fx projects

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Mozilla Localizations :: hr / Croatian, defect)

Description

[Jeff Beatty [:gueroJeff]]

Moving from bug 1158073.

From local pages, http://www.njuskalo.hr/ which is most popular "yellow pages" for selling used goods in Croatia. Probably something like Craigslist in USA, but just for used goods, not jobs etc...

> 1) Should this be added to desktop, as well as mobile? If not, what are the
> advantages of adding it to one and not the other?

It's probably ok to add it if you decide to add it for mobile.

> 2) What is the use-case we're satisfying by adding this provider?

We are satisfying your request in first post. As I understood you, you want to localize browser to be close to users in that country.

> 3) Who are this provider's current competitors?

Only real competitor which covers all same aspects as njuskalo is http://www.oglasnik.hr/
Oglasnik is much older and it's origins are as newspapers (ads, yellow pages...). Only in last 10 (or so years) they started web part.

Njuskalo never had newspaper counterpart, it was web only yellow pages from start.

Other competitors are specialized yellow pages for realestate or other areas, but not all in one except "Oglasnik".

Here is a fresh list of most visited webpages in croatia:
http://www.audience.com.hr/

Njuškalo is number 4.
From first 10 most visited sites, only 2 aren't news portals. Njuškalo on number 4 and forum.hr (bulletin board) on number 10.

njuskalo.hr is equivalent of eBay, but it targets only Croatian users. Over the last couple of years, this service has gained huge popularity as it offers it's users easy way to buy and sell new or used goods and services. The service is probably the most popular because it's completely free. Their revenue comes from paid/promoted ads.

I'm not familiar with the situation in the US, but I suppose that if you are looking for something (e.g. used car, new smartphone or even apartment), you probably look at eBay or Amazon. Well, over here, the first place you look for something is at njuskalo.hr

And some trivia... "njuškalo" translates to "snoopy" in English. That's why their mascot is a dog, which snoops for the best deal for whatever you're looking for :-)

Adding Kev and Joanne to this bug so that it doesn't slip through inbox cracks.

Hi all,

We have developed a standard letter to be used for all non-commercial (non-revenue) search providers that we are including in the search plugins globally.  I have modified the letter by including the Njuskalo.hr provider name, but need some help with contact information. 

Could someone update the areas in yellow and share that update in the bug?  Once we've confirmed that we have everything we need filled out, the letter will be ready to be shared with the folks at Njuskalo.hr.

Thanks for your patience, I know this took way longer than planned, but it was the right thing to do for the organization.

Thanks, Joanne

Was any progress made on this bug? At this point I think we need someone from Njuskalo to sign this.

(unassigning myself from this bug until it's actionable)

Can you please close this bug report. If we didn't manage to solve it in 2 years, we won't solve it at all.
