Taking a break from all the political posts of late to pass on this news of potential interest to parents and pregnant women, among others:
MizPee lets you use your mobile phone to find the nearest, cleanest, public toilet. Text your city and state to their phone number, or point your mobile browser at www.mizpee.com. You’ll get the address and distance of the nearest toilets, plus details on cleanliness, disabled access, diaper-changing stations, cost (if any), whether it is for customers only, and user comments. The service is free, though the company hopes to make money by giving you the option of viewing a list of special deals offered by businesses near your chosen commode.
A small, but clever idea, or pointless in a world full of Starbucks and McDonald’s (where we may go to pee even if we don’t eat the food)? The commenters at Tech Crunch, where I got the link, seem quite skeptical; what do all you parents think?
