created ride-share

A couple of days ago I started playing around with the Groups Labs Applications feature in Yahoo!Groups. Specifically, I took the Giving Away application and started to customise it. Today, I began again, but used the People Map tool. It worked a bit better.

I wanted to build a mechanism to allow our members to share rides. If someone wants to go to the CAO, and they don't have a car, or they don't want to drive, or they want to save some money, then they could more easily find a ride. If car owners want to cut their costs, it can help them out. It's a little silly that so many of us drive to the meetings at the Ontario Science Centre. In the middle of the worst traffic jam imaginable.

Finished my redevelopment today, after a wee bit of research. Had Malcolm take a look at my prototype. Made some changes. And then I rolled it out.

We'll see if we get any nibbles...
