Zimride Takes Carpooling to Facebook

Written by Jaymi Heimbuch on 08/09/08

If you’re on Facebook and want to access a carpool, you might check out Zimride, a new carpool community that has its own Facebook app so that you can learn who it is you’ll be sharing close quarters with on your daily commute.

The app allows users to get to know the personalities (sort of) of who they’re riding with, so they can make informed decisions about compatibility. This way, you can somewhat more safely and sanely make friends while cutting down on your carbon footprint.

Additionally, Zimride is going to be available on the Android phones this fall, with an app that hooks up with Android’s GPS system so users can connect with carpoolers while on the go. It’s getting just so much easier to not have to own a car…

Via AtuoblogGreen, Zimride

RideSearch dot com has also created a facebook application. It searches their national database of carpoolers as well.

Awesome

This is awesome. I'm trying to avoid driving, so I live for public transit and carpooling. I wish more people used carpooling sites so there would be more options.

GoLoco has been on Facebook for a while
written by Ethan Goldman, September 09, 2008
GoLoco is a ridesharing web application that started out as a stand-alone site before transitioning to a Facebook application. I have tried looking for--and offering--rides a few times, but never connected with anyone. Perhaps a better interface and the Android tie-in will help Zimride achieve critical mass. However, it would be ideal if these services could share data with one another so that a single search would hit all of them and there was a better chance of actually finding a ride.
