I don't see Zaarly really competing with TaskRabbit until they go the full mile and screen the folks who are performing this work, as TR does with its rabbits. I wouldn't trust someone to move my furniture or walk my dog without knowing som

Is a 50/50 split more generous than most affiliate plays? This is a slice of slice we're talking about here. I suppose if the API make for quick, painless integration on websites - music and sports blogs have nothing to lose. But not sure i
