First, there was Craigslist, the mother of all virtual local advertising. Then in 2007, DoMyStuff emerged as the first big player in online outsourcing. In 2009, RunMyErrand was all the rage, and a year later, that website has evolved into TaskRabbit.
What's the difference between the three? For one, Craigslist is a free-for-all, which can at times lead to scary sexual requests, but otherwise, really good. DoMyStuff is worldwide, unlike the new TaskRabbit, which is only available in Boston and San Francisco. (But they have expansion plans.) Also, users pay 25 cents to bid (like in an eBay auction) on tasks on DoMyStuff, whereas TaskRabbit is free to both those who post and bidders.

Taskrabbit is a new service out there that serves for people who have errands and people who need some extra income. This way if you need something done you can pay someone who is willing to do so. “Rabbits” as they are called are paid $15 per errand.
The Taskrabbit service is currently available in San Francisco and Boston, but the company is working now in expanding the service to other cities across the United States.
Taskrabbit has a nice video explaining how the service work, and how you can take advantage of it to make life easier. Check it out below:
