Ride, Sally, Ride
You can pick your friends, your car, and even your nose. But you can’t pick your nose when your friends are in your car.

Which better not be the reason you’re still gas guzzling alone across I-90.  Time to sack it up, sticky fingers. And give high-tech hitchhiking a try with Goose Networks.

Unlike traditional carpooling, the genius service doesn’t require planning ahead. Register online, send a text just before you’re ready to go, and they’ll text you back to let you know if anyone in your network is headed in the same direction.

Riders and drivers meet at prearranged pick-up points (so nobody gets your home address). And there’s minimal drama if you’re running late (Goose connects sharers anonymously via cell phone).

Limit your rideshare network to friends or colleagues or roll the dice for a sexy stranger. Not that you’re doing it to find a date.

But who nose?
