TASK RABBIT
The concept of Task Rabbit may sound weird, but it is simply brilliant. A lot of times we procrastinate over small and odd tasks. More often then not, either these jobs keep long pending as we keep avoiding them, or we do them half-heartedly. Then there are people, who are crunched for cash and want to pick up such odd jobs in order to earn some quick buck. Task Rabbit is a company that acts as a mediator in connecting people who want services to the people who can do it for them. These services and tasks could be anything from washing a car, to cleaning homes after a party, or running errands. They even provide a virtual Task Rabbit for people who need help with computer-based jobs.
This small idea today is an extremely successful business with operations in 18 cities across the US and 1 in London. They are soon expanding into other parts of the world too.

THE SOMETHING STORE
This concept is as bizarre as it may sound, but 8 years ago when the owners of The Something Store started their business, even they did not know they will make such a huge success out of it.
As the name suggests, the site sells ‘something’. As the customer places an order of let say $10 something, all he is assured of is that he will get something which is worth that amount, free to ship and legal to sell, but what it is, he won’t get to know till the thing gets delivered. It could be an artifact, a clock, or a kitchen gadget or any other item
The idea was that if anything could be sold on the Internet, why not sell ‘something’. The surprise element of what the purchase could be keeps the customers intrigued enough and make this site an extremely popular one in the US.
DIEDINHOUSE.COM
Often before renting out or buying a house, people wonder if anybody has died in that house before, or if the house has witnessed any paranormal activities. Now, this site www.diedinhouse.com provides all such information in just $ 11.99. The company is not very old but it has already has expanded with operations to perform searches in over 50 states and has plans to expand to other countries as well.
