Just in Time: Zaarly Matches Hungover SX Attendees with Much Needed Services

Much like Craigslist, Zaarly matches people who want to buy things with people who sell things. Unlike Craigslist, Zaarly focuses on the person in need, not the person selling the goods.

As of Sunday morning, the super smooth HTML 5 app is live for SXSW attendees to test. Sign up, refer some friends, and get access to the system. Soon you'll be naming your price for a variety of goods and services from sellers that want to work with you!

According to Techcrunch, "With Zaarly people who want things and people who want to provide services are brought together in an unprecedented way, with the focus on the buyer’s needs as opposed to the sellers. Buyers post what they want and how much they’re willing to pay and sellers can log in to Zaarly view the needs and prices of tasks around them. Sellers bid for the tasks, and the buyer chooses the best one, with Zaarly connecting the two via an anonymous Twilio-powered phone number."

Austin is the launch city, with more cities to roll out soon.
