Car Pool - User Interface Design - Part 1

Was taking rest at home and then I came across the news that bus traffic was hit due to some strike by the drivers. Then it flashed - the Car Pool. How about designing a website that enables car pooling along with social networking features?


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)

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.

Like a typical map application (Google Maps) this app has the ability to zoom-in, zoom-out, drag-across-navigation. By default the user must Sign-in, to access the app. The sign-in is a security measure, to show only the user's friends' locations and time-line history.
