parkwhiz.com [web 2.0 review]

I recently sat through a presentation by Jon from datawhiz.com at the Hatchery event in NY. This is a well thought out concept and implementation of a system to allow parking garages and individuals to list their parking spots for rent for the day/evening.  Consider a concert is happening near by and there is a parking shortage, just go on this easy to use website and list your spot for rent. A site user can go on and search for parking near the zip code or address and the results will be shown in both a tabular and map format. You can also search within a time range and when the results are shown, filter by ‘Walking time to Destination’ and price.

Possible parking spots are highlighted on the map and you can pick and choose by locality and price to pick the one you want. There is also the concept of rating the parking vendors so that users will be informed about the past experiences at that location.

Overall, very cool site that I can see myself using when I go into NY for an event or concert. The site is easy to use with a Web 2.0 feel that will be embraced by those living in or near a big city.
