Who needs text? Now you can become the host of your own home-made infomercial and sell, sell, sell. As was noted on a radio report, it's yet another way for people to get their 15 minutes of fame. It will also be worth watching to see if eBay, CraigsList, Google Base and others begin offering similar services. We would not be the least bit surprised if they did.
Simply create a video and tell others why they should hire you, buy your product/service, ask you out on a date, buy your livestock/animals, tickets, cars, real estate, post local news, even used dental floss according to the FAQ.
Keyword search (advanced interface available) or browse by categories (antique stuff, art & photo stuff, collectible stuff, geek stuff, girl stuff, guy stuff, entertainment-music, and more) or by location (all states, some international locations).
In the entertainment area (although similar services like this already exist (including the big names)) it's quite conceivable that RealPeopleRealStuff could be useful for both solo performers and bands looking for gigs. Heck, it could even help in finding the "perfect band" for your wedding.
Fast Facts:

Btw, if you decide to make a transaction, that's done between you and the seller. The web site plays no role in it.
Bottom Line: Like always, let's be careful out there.
