Welcome to Roadzer

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Roadzer.com Blog. Here I'd like to keep you up updated with news about Roadzer. I will also let you know of upcoming features, and most importantly I want this blog to be used by you to send me any suggestion to improve Roadzer. But let me tell you a little about myself.

My name is Jorge. I'm an IT Specialist from Yabucoa, Puerto Rico (PR). I am now living and working in the Washington, DC area. I'm in my early thirties. I've been working web development since high school.

Ever since I started driving and getting into traffic jams in PR, I wanted ability to send a message to other drivers. The messages I wished I could send ranged from "You @#$#! driver!" to "Hey, can I buy you a coffee?" (you get my point, right?) I thought that it would be great if we could use their vehicle license plate number since it is available to everyone who can read it and is a unique identifier. Now, many years later of having that idea, I decided to use the web for that. In order to use Roadzer across all US states, we also have to specify the vehicle state (since there could be plates with the same number in different states).

On June 25, Roadzer.com was born. A few days later a friend of mine let me know about this other website that also uses the license plate concept. Knowing that was a blow to me, to be honest. But after checking that site, I realized that their concept is a little different from what Roadzer is and will be.

I want to thank all my friends who have helped me promote the site and given me great suggestions. Please help me spread the word to your friends as well. You can find Roadzer on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter. And now, when you're on the road please keep in mind that there is Roadzer - if you need to send a message to anyone, write their state and license plate number. Smartphone users can access Roadzer through their devices.

Lastly, please drive safely and don't text while driving.

Sincerely,
Jorge
