Earn Free Stuff By Carpooling Through NuRide!
If you've thought about the traditional carpool but it never works out for you--maybe your hours vary or you work in different locations--then log on to NuRide and look at their innovative ride share program. It looks pretty simple to use. You specify your starting and ending locations, then choose if you want to be the rider or the driver. You'll be matched up with one or more people who are going where you are, when you are. Like eBay, you can see your rider/driver's rating from other NuRiders, so you can tell your riding with someone on the up-and-up. The best part? NuRide offers frequent-flyer type rewards to its users, with sponsors from wine.com to Target to Brookstone. So for sharing a ride to the big game, to work, or to finals, you can earn free stuff, save wear and tear on your car, conserve natural resources, and reduce tailpipe emissions. Still have questions? Head over to their well-organized and information-packed website. [Source: NuRide]

There’s a bunch of good rideshare websites, including GishiGo. Easy as pie and doesn’t have “rules” nor “login/membership”. Just use it and GO. Great network design.
Check it out: http://www.GishiGo.com
GishiGo is based on PayPal. Does a good job at filtering out all the BS that’s so very common on free anonymous websites like Craigslist and MySpace, etc. People refuse to put up the 99 cents if they are “just BS kidding” (like half the time on some websites), and they refuse to do any identification/papertrail if they are pervs. Seems there are a lot of weird ones on the “anonymous and socially open & politically active” Craigslist (that site is great since it has the eyeballs = the traffic). GishiGo seems to be good tool to use side-by-side with it!
