For $2 you get a "search service"? I imagine that if I ask your service to search for where to buy generic boardgame pieces, for example, I'll get back the first 5 results for the Google search for "where to buy generic boardgame pieces". Isn't that the case? If you're going to do a better service than Google than it will take too much time and $2 isn't worth it.

Research, more than "search". I'm doing higher quality with a low price point to get started and validate the product. If it's impossible to maintain the high quality and low pricing I'll deal with that when I cross that bridge! Thanks fro the feedback though.

This need's to be a voice activated/run app. If I can signup and then type what I want, then I might at well do it myself. The only upside to this would be if I am on the go and all I have to do is click a button, leave a message, and then wait for a speedy reply. I would actually pay for a subscription to receive this. - "I need new socks for under $1.50" - "Order me a cheese pizza" - "What is the best day to go ski…

Interesting idea. How much would you pay a month for this?

I agree that it should be more simple to request the task.

I think the fact that an actual person will do the searching for you has a more genuine appeal as opposed to some machine doing the search for you.

You can automate everything, and there are a lot of automated services. But a genuine human interacting has a lot of value to me.

Here is a platform to take your effort and maximize its effectiveness with the power of a crowd behind it Github exists for coders, people are massaging it for other projects. Crowdsourcing platforms are many but each have their faults. I am building a platform for anyone to contribute to projects. We are disrupting the future of work. PLease check out www.crowdraising.co/metacampaign and there is an explainer video that does the job https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3QT4lqco8M
