Agent Anything

     I was on the train, looking at advertisements when I saw one for Agent Anything. The banner left much to be desired in the way of information (beyond something along the lines of "our agents do anything!"), so I came home and checked out agentanything.com. Apparenty this company saw a need for more time or at least another pair of hands in the lives of most working New Yorkers, and decided to fill it. With college students. 

People who need help post errands on the website, and college students (who have signed up with a valid college email address) can run the errands, confirm that it's done, and get paid directly through their email. It's a creative idea, and they post requests for anything from dry cleaning to someone who can help them build a website.

     It probably doesn't have much to do with design, but it was certainly interesting. It could be an interesting method of obtaining freelance design work, since all of it is on a computer anyway. Perhaps one could create a design and be paid for it via paypal.
