24-year-old John Zimmer founded his own company, which is organizing joint car trips people whose travel plans, travel time and routes of the same. Traveling with someone is easier, cheaper, and certainly more fun. Zimride allows its users-travelers to communicate with other popular social networks such as Facebook, which Zimride presented.
To use the service, the user must register, and then specify the time of his visit, the date of departure and arrival date and a further additional details, such as the velocity at which it travels, what kind of music he prefers to listen, whether he smokes and how often. Once travelers - partners find each other, taking into account all the characteristics and preferences, they were contacted by e-mail and discuss the details of his trip.
The idea of creating such a resource, according to John Zimmer, a community organization such travelers. Unlike other similar resources on Zimride users create personal profiles with photos, and future travelers communicate with each other, it is far easier to travel with the already familiar to you man, let him in absentia, as quite a stranger.
This is a purely social aspect.
Since the founding of the resource in 2007, the number of users increased from 3500 to 300 000.
