   John - In many ways, the success of ZipCar is closely related to the simplicity with which an age old problem was solved - people love their cars. They love the freedom a car gives them - as well as the privacy. The new venture GoLoco.org seems to violate at least one of those principles. I’m not sure I can envision a typical American “sharing” their car with “strangers . . . .” Any thoughts on that?

   It seems like every single human coordination problem gets “solved” today by a “social network”. I am pretty sure that we are in an “pre-age” of this new sociological technology. And like with search-engines and news-portals, only two or three will survive.
   So, the players drop out one platform after another to raise their chances to be among the survivors. Not all are worth a second visit.
