Jumping in on this without knowing anything about the business model, but why not just ask all of the drivers to pay $35 (for example) one time to do a bg check / insurance check?

I think you have a really good idea. I also agree that a lot of users would use an image sharing site if they know potentially they could make some money instead of none.

There are some really good points brought up in this thread, that I think you are going to have to battle against. Maybe not as severe as Popcorn just faced but these are issue.

It is a long shot, and would take ton of money in fees mainly for a very skilled private investigator but you are absolutely correct this is one route to go.

I value any company's committment to security however there are ways that Twitter can prove who the owner of the account was, if they really wanted to.

Let's see if this story hits real news headlines and affects Twitters stock before closing bell tomorrow and action will happen.

This seems like a nifty idea. I have definitely been plagued with coders block in the past.

As a user, I find Quora to be weird and confusing. The sign up process was like a labyrinth, and trying to figure out how to use it is quite cumbersome.

I think a lot of companies are scared of how good hackers are these days. No one wants to guarantee protection because a hacker of a more elite variety will come along and take that as a challenge, by hacking into the sites that X company has created.

I definitely agree with you that it is somewhat of an under tapped market, but definitely think it needs to be head up by the right individual(s).

We had this in the town I grew up in, only it was a house with the "mechanical room" for our water tower. People broke in all the time.
