Entice drivers to link to their social media accounts by offering features like automatically tweeting a photo of anyone you honk your horn at, and updating an online leader board of top speeds driven along every section of road.



>top speeds driven along every section of road

If your goal is to make things safer I don't think this will help.


Yeah, when I worked for TomTom and suggested that idea, they weren't very enthusiastic about it.

And my other suggestion about a TomTomagotchi that you have to regularly drive around to different places to keep happy didn't go over very well, either. Maybe a petroleum company would be more receptive to that idea, though.


The tomagotchi idea is sort of like Waze. You get littlrle "candies" the more you drive. That one worked out for them.
