A friend of mine just exposed me to a new website he recently uncovered.  In truth, we’d stumbled on Zimride before, but it’s easy to forget all the players in this sector as it evolves.  What began as “cab sharing” has expanded to “ride sharing,” and clearly the public understands the concept and its value.
That’s [...]

An accidental use of Google introduced Jon to a curious site known as “Social Ignite,” which apparently aggregates rich media pertaining to a particular search topic.  Pretty useful, it turns out, for due diligence purposes.
Click HERE to scope the page.  Promisingly, CabCorner’s videos comprise about 50% of the results.
The site exposed us to a few [...]

To my fellow teammates and our loyal supporters:
Merry Christmas, and a belated Happy Hanukkah!  I’m so proud to pen this year-end review of the CabCorner project.  We’ve come a long way and enjoyed so much success during our first year of operation… its all due to the hard work yall have invested, and I write [...]

Check out the dispatches from New York City’s local news authority NY1.
FIRST, this report below demonstrates the public’s willingness to share cabs when conditions dictate.  It also emphasizes the ease with which an organic cab-sharing system developed during the city’s 200 taxi strike.
SECOND, this report explains the city government’s rationale in moving forward with its [...]

Don’t worry Mr. Mayor…
We’ll take it from here.  CabCorner will make up the difference.

So Ajay recently discovered a new cab-sharing service apparently known as Taxi2.  It’s an interesting concept, I guess, although perhaps a little cumbersome.  (Read more about it HERE.)
Essentially, Taxi2 seeks to connect travels at airports who are heading the same direction upon disembarking.  Though, rather bizarrely, the entire system seems to revolve around [...]

Over the past few weeks, we’ve received a number of emails inquiring about our progress.  A few updates:
Jon’s been making the rounds, lining up a few low-level investors to carry us through the next phase in our technical development.  (Perhaps, upon CabCorner’s launch in the top 15 markets nationwide, we should consider touching Greylock Partners, [...]

I haven’t the vocab sufficient to convey how disgusted I am with this reported legislation.
Cab drivers who use their cellphones (even via bluetooth headset!) or any other electronic devices “are about to get slapped by a sweeping overhaul of TLC rules, which will forbid the use of all electronics while cabs are in motion.”
Outrageous.  Why [...]

Our search for a development partner took us weeks and across the globe… but we’ve finally settled on a team based right next door in Long Island.  I find something rather thrilling about the fact that our efforts (and dollars) will remain onshore.  (Does that make me sound naive or patriotic?)
We also finally lined up [...]

Fame and fortune would, admittedly, be enough.  But Jon and I aren’t committed to the implementation of the CabCorner model solely for the health of our bank accounts.
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to answer the call! Let’s invent our way to a new energy economy, let’s utilize the evolving technologies at our disposal, let’s help [...]
