Resource: Assistants, Do My Stuff

Darren Berkovitz and his partners were experiencing a familiar problem: too much to do and not enough time to do it. Somehow, though, they found the time to create a solution: DoMyStuff.com is an online community where busy people can quickly find assistants to handle their errands and tasks. People who need help — called "buyers" — post a task they need completed, anything from mowing the lawn to chartering a private jet, no job too big or too small. Individuals or businesses bid on tasks by providing such information as how much they’ll charge, how the task will be accomplished, and when it will be done. Buyers review bids and choose the best assistant for the job. The site is free to buyers; DoMyStuff.com keeps a percentage of the assistant’s winning bid. <http://www.domystuff.com/>
