I'm so glad to have this feedback. Identifying my audience and avoiding feature speak where two things I tried to give consideration to while writing the copy. Still, I couldn't work out how to accomplish that.
The biggest difference from TaskRabbit is likely the direction of communication. GigYard encourages you to seek out and engage a candidate based on your needs. While TaskRabbit encourages you to describe your needs then promotes them to candidates for bidding.
For simple tasks I think the TaskRabbit approach works well. I expect that GigYard will be used to find service providers that meet more specific requirements.
