It is amazing how something that fits in our hand can have such a huge impact on our lives. Yet, smartphones apps can do just that. They can help us stay organized, connect with friends, keep track of our kids, and stay entertained.

This week I came across an interesting article questioning if new startups in the carpooling and ridesharing space would convince Americans to carpool. The article compared the European carpooling market for long to mid-distance carpooling with the American market and came to the conclusion that for Americans sharing their car was still an afterthought—mainly because […] Read more
