Aaron Kahn Jun 30, 2014 08:26 Member 2 \| Share via:	Proposal contributor Hi Paul, I appreciate your questions. Today I'm going to find material to quantify/qualify the proposal. I do consider the proposal to have a "potentially" big impact. I'm not doing anything new just confronting the problems in the carpooling process. The impact would change exponentially if it goes into the popular interest. The positive effects have been considered by many before me. I will cite prior works. Kind Regards, Aaron Kahn Geologist aaronkahn1129@gmail.com

Therefore, in order to be appealing, the proposal should focus on innovations and/or novel implementation on the topic. In that respect, authors' basic contribution seems to be only in using specific social networks as communities for disseminating/implementing car sharing. Moreover, also the impact evaluation is almost completely missing.
