Most people violate parking regulations by mistake - and would prefer to avoid being ticketed or towed.
CurbTXT lets your neighbors contact you regarding any issue with your vehicle - whether it's your fault or not. Like if someone smashed your car window.
Good question tvjunky. By registering your car - you allow your neighbors to contact you immediately regarding issues with your vehicle. So if you were to mistakenly block a neighbors' driveway - they could CurbTXT you to move your car rather than have you towed.
An "F-bomb laced note" wouldn't allow your neighbor to pull out of their driveway.
Registering for CurbTXT also allows your neighbors let you know if you're about to get ticketed for street cleaning, if you've left your lights on by mistake, if someone's smashed your window, etc.
We take inappropriate messages very seriously at CurbTXT and have mechanisms in place for immediately blocking the sender and flagging the message for review.
To send a CurbTXT, just text your message - starting with the plate # (and state abbreviation) to 415.529.5775.
For example: 'CA6EEJ475 left your lights on!'
Here at CurbTXT we take the potential for abuse very seriously. If at anytime a CurbTXT user receives an inappropriate message, they may block the sender permanently by replying with the command '#block'.
Thanks for your feedback - and feel free to contact me directly with any other thoughts or concerns.
SF-based startup called buzzbox (http://www.buzzbox.com) is another example of an attempt to apply personal relevance algorithms/heuristics to online news.
They take it a step further by trying to 'close the content loop' through automatically feeding users' personal news streams to others via a user-specific parallel twitter account (and an RSS feed).
kindof an interesting model - i had lunch with one of their marketing guys last week (a friend) - who mentioned his buzzbox twitter account had significantly more followers than he. curious now how many of those followers were follow-spammers though...
The beauty of Twitter is in its simplicity and in users' ability to completely personalize their account. I'm compelled to access my account because I know the sources of the content I'll find there were hand-selected by me and relevant to my unique interests.
I was under the assumption that most users have issues with following too MANY people and having trouble keeping up with 'the stream'. It could be argued that it's the fear of missing twitter updates that keeps people glued to the service (and other real-time status services). If such is the case, do users really need another way to clog up their stream and pull attention away from their real-life friend/family's updates - the ones that "really" matter?
While I could see the Lists concept being useful to new users who'd like a jumpstart into the 'twitterverse', doesn't Twitter already suggest popular twitterers to follow during account registration?
It seems to me that Twitter should be spending its time adding more languages/international support as well as figuring out how to better deal with spammers - instead of building new features that only select power-users will take advantage of and that will confuse more people than they benefit.
