MyTime, a variation of the tradition daily deal model launched in Los Angeles this week. The service ia a convenient way find, book and pay for services like car repair, autodetailing, hair styling, massages, acupuncture, and more and instantly allows you to book appointments for everything on your to-do list. At the same it it allows you to find services offered at a discount on certain days of the week - normally the quiet time for some of the merchants.
As the founder Ethan Anderson describes it, he wants to build the Amazon for local services and open appointments. All the merchants who are shown have either a four star or five star rating on Yelp and/or CitySearch and all merchant profiles show contact information, descriptions and ratings from Yelp.
You click on a merchant, and you can then drill down the service you want. So if you want a massage, you can specify that you'd like a Swedish Massage for 60 minutes, and then book the service for the date you'd like depending on merchant availability. MyTime will show you what the prices are depending on the dates.
