Toyota to create a social network for cars

A really not needed service ?

I thought the same thing about facebook and twitter when they launched. What a waste of time,space, and money.

But then, I wondered how google could actually make money when they launched a search engine. Didn't seem possible.

Now Toyota is going to have a social network for cars. I hate to imagine where this could wind up.

Cheers Don...

Whatever happened to this social network?

Many toyo drivers are appliance users in beige , it wont fail but I might be wrong

"According to its creators, who invented the network in their dorm room at Berkeley, PhoneBook is the game-changer that will leave Facebook, Twitter and even the much anticipated Google Buzz in a cloud of dust."

a cloud of dust?

another incorrect prediction, just like the end of the world hey? Dammit, the world ended and I missed it.

You were otherwise engaged on Saturday, but the world did end for the person's prediction. He is leaving his billboards up as some day he will be right. What a twit he said last Saturday, no 2nd chances.

When was it when the 7th dayers said ? 1970 something ?

We do have the end of the Aztec calender next year......

"Hello my name is Lisa and I would like to be your friend ....." This could end up very expensive in many ways; a) your wife is in the car and ALL services are withdrawn until you come up with some humdinger of an explanation as to why she is contacting you. b) your eyes gaze on the revealing pciture just a tad too long and you rear ending the roller stopped in front of you, c)other?

It will probably be just boring marketing shyte like the Navara Australia owners forum and all assistance will consis of minimal information and a recomendation to contact your local $hafting workshop^h^h^h^h^hcentre.

Michael Knight and KITT come to mind.....

"Good news folks. GOD has given us more time to do his work. We have to get out there and convert more souls and raise more money". Sigh, WC Fields had it right.

It's OK, I've already seen it - my fridge and my stove are best friends and conspire against me on a regular basis... in fact I think most of the appliances in my house are conspiring against my efforts to save money and lose weight, if they're not offering me instant sedentary gratification, then it's tasty, tasty sugar rushes. :)

They'll have to rush out and buy another one then.

How to sell cars... not. I accompanied my father in law when he was hunting for a late midlife crisis vehicle at one of the prestige dealers. The sales guy explained that part of the package was membership to some sort of fraternity of owners, which included being invited to accompany the salesman to events such as sport. Even if I liked the creepy cars involved, that offer would have had me out the door quick smart.

Probably goes down well with men suffering mid life crisis.
