"I love it when a plan comes together"
It thrills me when I see technology maturing before our very eyes, and so often it seems to be coming from Google. Google has now made public their "ride finder", which tracks the location of (participating) taxis and shuttles. I'm not sure how USEFUL the information is, because the information is said to be "less than 5 minutes old". But it's way cool, and maybe a little creepy (sure could make tailing someone's cab a hell of a lot easier). Check out downtown Chicago, since there are 3 participating taxi services there...
