Hey I just saw this posted on Twitter and thought I’d share. Very simple and kinda novel concept. Makes you want to smack your head and ask why didn’t I think of that.

If you have an errand you need run but can’t do it, you can go to Task Rabbit,  post your task with the amount you are willing to pay and runners will contact you to offer their help or counter offer. Once you all decide on the rate, you hire them to get the task done. You can also be a runner and earn some extra pocket money.

Too bad there are so limited markets at the moment, only San Francisco and Boston. But from what I understand this is a start-up so it might likely expand given time.
