What's Happening -- Need To Giveaway

I was offered a small stipend to share this giveaway with my readers. The opinions are, as always, mine.

NeedTo-LogoDo you need to do  something? Or more likely, do you need something done? I know my hubby and I always seem to have a long "need-to" list and I would suspect that we are not alone. So I was excited when my friends at the Orange Wall Collective told me about need to.com.NeedTo is a place to post those need-to jobs and get local applicants to get those things done. The folks at NeedTo know that whether as families or businesses, we don't always "have the time, resources, or skills necessary to get everything they need done in the day." Insert raised hand here! But, and here's the good part, there are "people ready that have the talent, time, and desire to help them out." And the hallelujah chorus begins.Now here in Austin we love to support local and this Austin start-up is all about "creating jobs at the hyper-local level". I think of it like a giant community board but instead of a pushpin in an index card at the local dry cleaner, it's a live board where a skilled helper can find work and a person with a need can find a helper. Sounds good, right?  It gets better. NeedTo wants to do more than find a few jobs for a few people, they want to end unemployment -- for real!Here's a word from the founder Wade Floyd:[video width="480" height="360" mp4="http://box5437.temp.domains/~astarinm/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/NeedTo.com-Austin-TX-KXAN1.mp4"][/video]
