Has anyone used @WazeCarpool? I signed up ages ago but never successfully matched—thin market—until yesterday. Worked really well, and carpooled with a very nice guy who’d otherwise use Uber. (Public transit not viable when 107°.) Disclosure: referral link waze.app.goo.gl/2sRb9

Obviously there are real safety issues and these are bigger for more vulnerable populations (though system seems thoughtfully designed with some social proof: work email/LinkedIn/Facebook verification). Biggest challenge may be typical two-sided platform 🐓🥚 market thickness.

Positive feedback cycles in market thickness mean you’d think @waze might want to make it more obvious product is being actively developed (It is! They just launched a multiple passenger feature!) by maintaining social media presence. cc: @joshfried @lukestein/1156305466005176320
