Hi,
we have recently launched a new free online map-based carpooling service for Australia.
Your opinion and comments are very welcome as well as enquiries regarding possible implementation of this service for other countries (or organisations/corporates).
The address is http://www.carpoolone.com.au/
Thanks
Ginni
P.S. a bit off topic, but perhaps still handy might be http://www.motorcyclefuelconsumption.com/ guide for motorcycle fuel consumption figures that are usually missing in the factory specs.

This is great! I was actually looking for a Facebook app to sell my snowmobile with (found one actually, pretty cool and free!: http://apps.facebook.com/sellmyride/)
Anyways, this app will come in very handy come September when I’ll need it to commute as we only have one car and my wife needs it. Awesome!

Thank you!

There’s a great website called GishiGo ( http://www.GishiGo.com ) that does a lot the “free and anonymous” social networks avoid. It helps people exchange identity using PayPal. And it creates a papertrail and bunch of other good stuff. I use it all the time. And I use the social networks like Craigslist and Kijiji and MySpace. The more people who see my GishiGo rideshare post the more likely I will have successful carpool. And it helps me build confidence. That’s the real issue. Applaud the guys who are using Facebook account to help with the confidence issue. GishiGo.com seems really good to me. There are a bunch of other websites, but this GishiGo is very powerful network design and only one that is so convenient to me. No registration. Open to anyone who isn’t fearful of exchanging their identity (basically filtering out the “need anonymous” people, which is what I want in ridesharing).

I struck upon an idea of car pooling and I thought a bidding process like ebay will enhance the experience of car pooling and at the same time allow drivers to make some money by filling the empty space in their vehicle. I was dreaming of anyone wanting to go somewhere, just log-in and find a rider who is travelling to the same destination or close to it. I have seen my neighbours in the same supermarket, and i seen my friends in the same mall, why not hitch a ride instead of driving myself. Well, it is embarassing to ask them! How about an online platform which will allow drivers to find riders. It will allow drivers to make some money to offset fuel and maintainance costs and it will allow riders to travel cheaply. If the concept of carpooling is embraced, and if we can reduce the number of single driver cars on the road, it will substantially reduce the number of vehicles on the road, will reduce emissions, less infrastructure costs for parking and I believe it will be a win for everyone! With this idea, I developed a site http://www.cabiecar.com which I thought will take off, I thought it would be fun to bid on a travel space and a feedback mechanism on the riders and drivers will propel this platform to allow users to have a unique and fun experience both online as well as on the ride! Any input would be helpful! This service is Free!!!

I figured someone would make a carpool app with Facebook soon. As a competitor, I say good for you! We need Carpool tools where there are people looking for tools.
