Postmates Launches Courier Delivery Service To San Francisco

128939v4-max-250x250Postmates is sort of like a modern version of the taxi dispatching software that Twitter creator Jack Dorsey had worked on as a kid. Except it's available for businesses and consumers today in San Francisco, if you download its iPhone app.It lets you place an order for a delivery, notifies nearby couriers and bike messengers, then one of them accepts and picks up the package and brings it to you.Once you place an order, you'll get an email with a link that lets you track it. Pricing is based on the item being delivered, distance, and other factors. It's obviously also a lot like Uber.
