WEBSITE OF THE DAY:

RideAmigos.com

Do you live in or travel frequently to New York, Chicago, L.A. or San Francisco? If you do, then listen up ... especially if you want to save time, money and the environment. A new website called RideAmigos.com is for people who want to share a ride to wherever they’re going – the beach, a sporting event, the airport, park, museum, you name it! It can work for one-time only deals or recurring requests. Here’s how it works: Enter in whatever it is you’re looking for, then search the database. For example, I just logged on to the New York City site and did a search, pretending I was looking to share a ride tomorrow morning from the Upper East Side to JFK. Sure enough, someone else was looking to share a ride at 7:45am. So if I were in NY, looking to split cab fare, I could have sent this person an email to co-ordinate a meeting time and place. Ingenious!
