Using The Internet To Find A Parking Space

"If you've ever spent a frustratingly long time looking for a parking space, a new service is sure to perk up your ears. You'll soon be able to find a spot without even having to drive around."

"Since you can search online to check the weather before going outside, why not find a parking spot, too? That's what 32-year-old Andrew Rollert was thinking when he started spotscout.com out of Cambridge, Mass. "I am hoping this will kill off the expression 'looking for parking,' altogether," he says."

"You'll be able to look for a spot before you even get in your car, by computer or any cell phone with Internet access."

"Rollert hopes the market will come from private property owners who want to lease driveways for a few hours, or local garages that will list empty spaces at any given time, and people who own spaces they don't use during vacations."
