Thembid operates on a simple principle: customers know what they want and someone, somewhere has got it. Let’s say you need someone to fix your leaky roof; rather than wasting time researching the matter, post on Thembid and companies will compete to provide you service. Businesses get free advertising and direct customers. Customers in the meanwhile, get the best rates, and there’s no need to search through the yellow pages or super pages, or any pages really; Thembid takes care of the work for you. Ratings allow users to make informed decisions. Thembid currently only covers California, but it is free to use.
In their own words:
“ThemBid.com is a business tool that reduces the need for spending on
marketing resources since the customers are already seeking their
services and a tool for consumers to get exactly what they want
without the hassle of wasting time looking and researching for the
best business and best price for their service.”
Very cool, here it´s another good example of what is web 2.0 and what we can do with it

Another example of “Im too lazy to do my homework, someone come do it for me”
Great Society, isnt it?
Not quite. I think businesses on this site will be urged to provide good work and good prices. I think its a neat concept and can’t wait for it to come around my area.
I agree with Fred. The concept is nice, but it needs to get some initial traction before it starts being useful.
Thanks to all for the feedback.
Fred,
We will expanding nationwide within the week! I look forward to your requests.
