Looking back, April was a busy month for RideSearch.com. We released our carpool calculator on the iPhone and were linked on Apple.com. You can visit this site on your iPhone at http://iphone.ridesearch.com

We are working hard to spread the word about carpooling, and we owe it all to your support. Be sure to keep spreading the word about Ridesearch.com to your friends and coworkers and together we can all make real impact in your community and the world!

During April we promoted the site to the nation in the following ways:
1. The Live Green Expo in Plano, Texas
2. The Green Apple Festival in Los Angeles. Earth Day (I got interviewed by globalbroadcast4kids.com)
3. The Green for Life EcoFest in Palm Beach Florida, where we sponsored the "RideSearch Trolley"
4. The Nortel Green Fair in Dallas for the employees of Nortel.
5. The Green Living Family Festival at the Heard Museum in McKinney, Texas

At the end of May, RideSearch 2.0 will be released, which combines Ridesharing and Carpooling. We are going to have Free Ride Forums. Stay tuned for the best addition to our site yet!
