Most of the time when you assign a task, you assign it to a specific person. This avoids duplicative work, and compartmentalizes accountability. Staction makes it easy; you just add their name as a tag to a todo post.

But did you know you could add more than one person?

Just include multiple names as tags to assign the task to multiple people. Whoever has time to complete it first marks it off for everyone. This works especially great for short term tasks that anyone could do.
Tasks like:

• Can someone register this URL?
• Can someone change the bathroom lightbulb?
• Can someone restart the server?

They’re tasks where there is no danger of the work being duplicated, and there is no reason to request a specific person to do the task (but that you might want the peace of mind to know it has been done) when accountability meets convenience, and your whole team is empowered to work together, it’s powerful stuff. Maybe not something you would use everyday, but keep it in mind next time you have a quick task that needs done.
