iHelp is a task-focused social networking service. It offers a chance for students to know and communicate with each other by working out tasks together. Everyone can build his/her own profile on it. In the same way, you can use Facebook or Twitter account to log in so that you do not need to re-construct your profile again. After login, user can see tasks posted by others and the bidding or comments on these tasks. Also, one user can post his/her own tasks (name, detail, tag, time, place and rewards) and wait for people to come and help. People who want to lend a hand can click “I can” on the task page and will be put on the short list. Later, the task poster would choose one helper according to the rating or others comments and execute the task together. Upon accomplishment of the task, the task poster can rate and comment on the helper. ( see Figure 6 as an example) Moreover, one can like a task or share it on Facebook and Twitter.
