I'd seen RideJoy mentioned on HN several times, but didn't check it out until now. It wasn't obvious to me that there were dummy accounts, so could you show me some?
I also decided to check out craigslist listings in my area, which led me to find zimride (which I believe helped someone on their site auto-post to craigslist, which it looks like RideJoy will do as well). It's an interesting niche, which I'd never really considered before as I was a hitchhiker many years ago.
This whole idea caused me to call my trucking buddy to see if he could make some extra money with something like this. Turns out, his insurance premium would increase by $100/yr if he allowed riders, and he never thought it would be worth it because he thinks craigslist is sketchy. He thought this might be more palatable with FB integration (he still uses FB against my advisement).
