Outsource your dirty work with Do My Stuff
Today after work you have to pick up your dry cleaning, get an oil change, pick up the kids from soccer practice, buy groceries, make reservations for dinner, and find a birthday card for your mother in law. Short on time? Why not hire someone else to do it?DoMyStuff is a new website designed to find other people to do your dirty work for you. On the site you can list "anything" you need to have done and then allow others to bid on your task. When you post your listing you can decide how long people have to bid as well as limit those allowed to bid by their location or user rating.

The site is very similar to RentaCoder which specializes in outsourcing software and website assistance, except for people who need help with day to day tasks rather than code.
