Delivery App Postmates Offers A Last-Minute Valentines Gift
Yes, there are going to be a lot of startups trying to capitalize on Valentine's Day. Postmates, however, has the advantage of doing something cool something that involves free chocolate.When the app launched last year at TechCrunch Disrupt, the coverage described it as the "Uber of packages." On its face, the comparison might sound a little silly (at least, it did to me) but in the same way that Uber works because town car drivers often have downtime, Postmates is trying to take advantage of the fact that couriers and bike messengers aren't always scheduled to make deliveries, and can instead take last-minute delivery requests via the Postmates app.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/-RUhUx4l66c/
