Carpong
A new way to tell bad drivers they suck

Finding a way to channel road rage without going berserk
isn't easy -- just look to Gandhi's example, after he got
cut off, and only shot the guy in the leg. Get back at
terrible drivers semi-anonymously, with Carpong.

Basically a Twitter for incensed drivers, Pong lets you tell
other motorists exactly what you think of them by using
their license plate info as an e-address to send brief
messages expressing your ire, as you receive your own
healthy stream of invective for smashing into people while
typing and driving. The setup's simple: sign up your plate
info, do the same for any car you want to comment on, and
tell them whatever you want in 250 characters ("STOP doesn't
mean drive fast and be a douche", "use your blinker or I'll
kick you in the face next time", etc); if they're also
signed up, your reportees'll get an email alerting them of
the note, revealing your username and license info, so you
should definitely use it to give those cops what they've got
coming. So far, there's been a healthy smattering of message
action, from weather-related musings in Colorado
("apparently 1 inch of snow makes 90% of drivers 100%
retarded"), to parking lot faux pas in Virginia ("I was
sitting in my car when you slammed your door open into it
with no remorse. Try not to suck so much in the future"), to
generic comments in Ohio, i.e. "go bearcats", either a
response to a Cincinnati bumper sticker, or a desperate wish
that a pack of feral animals kill said driver.

If you're into stalking, you can search for people's license
plates and "follow" them to see what sorts of things people
are saying about their follies -- like that dude Gandhi
popped, and just laugh and laugh about how much trouble he's
having with his clutch.
