Ridesharing Thoughts..

As the Ridester community grows, something significant is happening - ridesharing is starting to achieve adoption beyond a niche population. Day by day, it's gradually moving to mainstream. I remember the dawn of dating-sites when the general consensus was that online romance was for lunatics. Well things change - it's ok to find love online. With Ridester - the paradigm is changing too. While craigslist is great for the casual and chaotic, and achieves a vibrant critical mass within its audience, it fails to provide the ingredients for a truly widespread rideshare marketplace as Ridester does. I've talked to many of the new members on Ridester and am amazed at the mainstream demographic that are opening up to ridesharing now that Ridester makes it sensible with feedback-ratings, a payment system, personal profiles, smart route matching, and effective notifications.
