Maybe you’re exactly unlike me and are an outgoing person who likes to meet new people with whom you have very little in common with.

Or maybe you just need someone to make you legal in the carpool lane.

Or maybe, just maybe, you are a person of nefarious designs who sees an easy mark readily available on the iPod you just mugged from some guy. You’re wanting to upgrade from simple assault and theft to grand theft auto and you want that auto brought to you.

Carticipate!

With gas prices costing an arm and a leg these days, people have found that carpooling is a great way to cut down on costs. Trouble is, it’s not always that easy to find a group of people that are traveling to your general destination.
Thankfully, with the iPhone’s location aware capabilities and the release of Carticipate, you can now make that task easier!

Carticipate helps you find other’s in the area (who also are Carticipate users) so you can find a buddy to carpool with. Simply drop in where you are going and when you want to go there and you will find others in your area that are on that same route so you can work out some traveling options.

Sounds to me like picking up an e-hitchhiker, with the same probability of getting killed at a rest stop as the old movie plot.
