Hey Andrew, cool project. Have you been able to complete your project?

... like a digital bathroom stall of messages scratched in the door

Andrew, you haven't provided any links to heroku or Github repo for your project.

This is a cool twist on geocaching.

One foreseeable issue is that you'd need to cover a lot of cabs to make this work: http://ask.yahoo.com/20070321.html

And populating content for all those cabs would be expensive!

There are about half as many subway trains (if you're going by yellow cabs), but a lot more people take them. 

Here's an idea: maybe you could focus on one mostly above-ground train specifically. With this idea, there's also the potential for real-time communication amongst people traveling. Or maybe LIRR.

You could, eventually maybe, open the idea up to NYC transportation in general.

Or, you could do something like Starbucks Stories (or coffee shop...or other business...of your choosing). You could start with a few locations that you and your friends visit. This way you'll know you can get a good amount of content added. Then leave stories for individual tables? 

Dunno, but I like the idea of this. 

Andrew - interesting &amp; fun. 

1. Photos only or video too?
2. Tracking the Cab ID #'s or are the anonymous?
3. Do you only get to see prior passengers messages for that specific cab you just got into or anyones rides?

Andrew can you tell us more about the project/webapp? Like what the purpose of this would be? Is this similar to taxi cab confessions by any chance? LOL 

That's the idea:
1. allow people to check into a taxi cab they are in.
2. allow people to leave messages and pictures in the cab.
3. allow people to read and respond to other passenger's left messages.

So yes very similar to taxi cab confessions!

More details to come!
