Sorry if this sounds trollish, but Shahan was doing "jobs Americans don't want to do."

Not only is this a good idea online, you can also hire domestic (local) concierge services to run errands for you during the day. My mother-in-law successfully runs such a business.

In addition to individuals who do this, there are also online services that bids out local concierge services. I know that Chris (the guy who wrote the linked post) has used TaskRabbit (http://taskrabbit.com). I'm going to try to get him to do a post about that experience as well.

Are there any competitors to this? I'd love something like that in Denver.
