@joemellin Thanks for the feedback, Joe. Sorry about the verification delay - we use SendGrid and have found at times the "instant" turnaround isn't what it should be. We'll work on it.
Noted on the on-boarding UX / form fields - user testing hasn't raised many flags there in the past but probably a good time for another look :) Thanks again.

Pumped to share this launch. Dead simple automated carpooling for commuting is a very hard problem, and Scoop’s doing it in a way that lets you use it as often as fits your schedule - no commitments. Get a ride either way, earn if you drive. They guarantee a ride home, too, so no risk of getting stuck:)
I know they built their initial traction in Pleasanton… See more
@rsadow and I are really excited to get feedback from the community and answer some questions about Scoop, so please send them our way! It's been a pretty fun and crazy experience for us over the past 6 months to build the team and product at Scoop while the transportation landscape is changing so quickly...

@ianissoawesome Oh, and as far as worrying goes - I'd be lying (and naive) if I said we don't worry about competition. But our goal is to - after 60 years of efforts - to turn carpooling mainstream. If someone else succeeds, we might be a little bummed personally, but we'll be incredibly excited about what it means for the lives of everyday commuters.

Big fan of what Jon and Robbie are building. I've known both of them for a long time and they're two of the hardest working, most brilliant people. This is the start of somethings huge.

Congrats to @jonsadow on the SF launch. Great guy and building an important product.
I have a question / idea. Have you explored partnerships with mesh networks (like Veniam) for providing WiFi in the carpools? Would that work? I can imagine commuters would love if every car had WiFi!
