Social Networking For Your…Car? Unique Ridesharing Platform Launches Global Fundraiser

Toms River, New Jersey (PRWEB) November 12, 2013

There is a new way to get around town. An unconventional and growing trend in transportation: social networking for ridesharing. GoVeho.com, the first social networking site for carpooling, is launching a global fundraising effort to aid their mission to provide commuters an easy, on-demand carpooling option that can reduce deadly carbon emissions by an estimated six tons per average rider, per year.

GoVehos unique social networking platform allows users to connect to and arrange rides with other would-be carpoolers. GoVeho.com users are often students or young professionals who are otherwise at the mercy of public transportation. These commuters find that carpooling saves them time, money and affords them additional flexibility through a virtual network that also strengthens in-person ties within their community.

At a time when an environmentally conscious public is crying out for viable carbon reducing solutions, the sustainable business model of GoVeho makes it an easy and attractive option for eco-friendly donors. GoVeho will be accepting contributions to further its green efforts through indiegogo.com, an industry leading crowd-funding platform. GoVeho is the brainchild of co-founders Timothy J. Petrin, Esq. and Ajay Gaglani, both Rutgers University graduates. Petrin and Gaglani are involved in numerous successful business ventures, but recently felt compelled to pursue more community and environmentally minded entrepreneurship with their newest project, GoVeho.com.

The rewards of carpooling are clear, both for the person and for the planet. The social benefits of the carpool setting have been shown to reduce stress, and the $1.1 billion annual national savings only enhances the riders mood. (Commuter Solutions, Green Living: 9.12.2012) Environmental issue author, Mrunal Belvalkar surmised that "if every passenger car in the US carried just one additional commuter for a single day, the US could save over 30 million gallons of gasoline in a single day[.] In a week, the US could save more than 210 million gallons of fuel."

According to recent studies, the average American spends over 430 hours driving every year, which equals about 18 days. In a single year, a passenger car emits around 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 600 pounds of carbon monoxide and consumes around 550 gallons of gasoline. (buzzle.com) Adam Stein of Terrapass, a social enterprise that provides carbon offsetting products, estimates that burning one gallon of gas creates 20 pounds of carbon dioxide, and the average car emits about six tons of carbon dioxide every year. GoVeho.com helps riders to alter their role in the carbon cycle.

Currently GoVehos ride sharing network is available at http://www.GoVeho.com and the free app is due on the iPhone and android market this winter.

Why Apple devices may be coming to an office near you

Apple appears to be increasing its internal support to attract and better serve enterprise customers. The company has posted multiple job listings on LinkedIn for positions at Apple that focus on growing its presence in enterprise.

One job listing posted to LinkedIn on Monday was for an Apple Enterprise Sales Representative.

"We are actively searching for an Enterprise Sales Executive focused on selling to the Fortune 1000 ideally out of irvine or San Diego CA," the company said in the listing.

Requirements for the position also include a "high-level understanding of IT infrastructure around device management, security, and infrastructure integration," according to the job post.

Other enterprise-focused positions recently listed include roles in technical support and other enterprise sales positions. In early October, Apple also hosted a recruiting event not far from BlackBerry's headquarters outside Waterloo, Ontario, where it was speculated that the iPad maker looked to recruit some of BlackBerry's enterprise architects, Schadler said.

Historically, analysts said that Apple has had a strong sales team focused on the education market, but not for the enterprise sector. Such a shift would be significant for Apple and its competition, Chowdhry said.

"So far, Mac has been successful without a sales team. Now, if you put a sales team in, that could create magic for Apple," Chowdhry said. "It's more bad news for Dell, Microsoft and the HPs of the world, though."

CNBC reached out to Apple to find out if the company was in fact making a concentrated effort on expanding it enterprise sales and support staff, but the company declined to comment.

Still, it's hard to deny the recent jabs Apple has taken at Microsoft, especially its announcement to give away its iWork productivity software and its updated Mavericks OS for free.
