I see a lot of this on Facebook. This weekend, a friend needed a long-distance tow from Central to Southern California. Put out a request, which I came across when it popped up on my Facebook Android widget. Within an hour, she reported problem solved. Aardvark also strikes me as an interesting approach to the problem. I signed up this summer when I first heard about it. I liked the concept, thought they struck the right tone with their website. Still, a couple things put me off of it once I started to using it, and I gave up pretty quickly. So though I find more to gripe about with Google every day (latest outrage: Panda Express outranks Wikipedia when I search for panda!), I stick with it.
