So picked up a notebook and prepared some sketches for an application that attempts to answer the questions like  - Joining a carpool instantly (Via SMS) - Creating a carpool and inviting people I could think about extending the basic scope of the application by porting a version to Facebook, MySpace etc and making collaboration more fun and easy. For the initial sketch, I preferred to go with a standalone web app, that could do both features mentioned above.
