me and @elegantunivers9 from Task Rabbit were just talking about the sharing economy because i came across this well written but very critical article -- https://medium.com/the-nib/9ea5b... -- and some lash back from those who lament the "commodification of community".

true. time will tell how prevalent the sharing economy becomes in the rest of the world.

Thanks for posting! I signed up for this last night and thought it would be a great way to try new food and potentially make new friends in SF who are creative and inspiring.

@ErikTberg There's strong usage of TaskRabbit in a lot of our other metros outside of SF and NYC. LA, Chicago, Boston to name a few :)
Also many thanks for sharing that article on the sharing economy. Look forward to discussing further!
