Show HN: Damn Simple Carpooling

Neat. Any thoughts on what the revenue model might look like? My first inclination is that this might not be a big enough problem, but there are a number of examples of recurring group activities where prior confirmation is useful - running groups are the first one that immediately came to mind.

I think the core of the idea is more "really simple RSVP" and much less about carpooling. With that focus, there are probably some really nice ways to simplify even further...

In terms of monetization, this would translate nicely to an iOS/Android app, for one.

the tech is definitely geared in that direction. carpooling is first because we needed it for our own use :)

If the tech is geared in that direction, you may want to reconsider the name of the service. I currently live in NYC, and I never really carpool because none of my friends need or have cars.

We do, however, meet up at bars, restaurants, and concerts, and this would be a cool way to get an accurate headcount for things like that. Very cool stuff, man!
