UPDATE ON THE COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

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.)

the hunt for capital

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, [...]

Where my urban populists at?!

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.”

our team expands

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 [...]

I met her in the backseat…

Well, I suppose it was only a matter of time before the blogosphere realized that there were other benefits to using CabCorner, as if traffic reduction, subway decongestion, energy conservation, and cost-savings weren’t enough.
That’s right, FratomBomb, Cabcorner probably ain’t a bad way to find a last-minute date.  There’s something about economic recessions that suddenly make [...]
