You guys are either going to love this or roll your eyes, but when I heard about it, I couldn’t NOT post about it.
DoMyStuff.com is a relatively new site that enables you to outsource simple chores, errands, or projects. Need a closet organized? A website revamped, your lawn mowed, a pint of milk picked up? Join DoMyStuff and let people bid on the job. It’s really that simple. Check out some of the posts expiring this morning. One of my favorites has a women trying to score some Oprah tix:
I have been wanting to go the Oprah Winfrey Show now for years but it’s impossible to get tickets. Her new season will start taping in August and I would like to attend with 4 other people…so a total of 5 tickets.
I’m not sure I’m lazy enough to post, but it’s been entertaining, if nothing else, sifting through the gigs. Although, hmm, now that I think about it some more, maybe I should find someone to do my _floss blogging for me…

That Oprah post is also on every Craigslist, trying to scam you into going to domystuff.com. I don’t really trust it. If someone’s being try to go to Oprah for years they should know that there is no way for someone else to get you tickets. There’s not even tickets. You call an 800 number to get a reservation.

How is it a scam just because it takes you do domystuff.com? Maybe that person just wants tickets and doesn’t know how to get it or time and just asking for help.

A great idea. I need someone to fix my car, replace a drain pipe in the basement, put a condenser in my AC, repair my porch, put shelves in my clloset, and remodel the bathroom. The problem is, anyone who really wants to do those things does not live anywhere near me!
