Justin.tv has already gone in two directions. The main one is Twitch.tv, a video game-focused version of the original video streaming site, that by all accounts has booming traffic and revenue. The other one is SocialCam, a mobile video app spinout that's also getting serious traction now. But the namesake cofounder Justin Kan is going in a third direction, with a new startup called Exec.Similar in spirit to TaskRabbit, Zaarly and to some degree Postmates, the site-plus-mobile app (currently for iOS) lets you quickly order a task from the startup's workforce -- deliveries, chores, cleaning, even art. The main interface is streamlined down to a simple box that lets you type in whatever you want, in contrast to some of its competitors. Another key difference, from TaskRabbit in particular, is that this isn't a marketplace where workers compete to bid down costs.Jobs currently go for a flat $25 fee, although Kan tells me they're still experimenting with prices.
