Friendster will launch a new service on Thursday: classifieds and job listings.

Coming straight after what appears to be a partnership between Oodle and Facebook to do a similar thing, Friendster is partnering with OLX to provide listings for jobs, real estate, personals, classes, resumes and more. It's a multi-year deal, and the two companies will share ad revenue. International users can search regionally, while US users can search by zip code.

That said, the integration is pretty weak: click the new "Classifieds" tab on Friendster and you're taken to an OLX page with a Friendster logo slapped onto it. As far as I can see, there's no attempt at further integration into the site, and it seems like a rushed job.
