Google Debuts New Taxi-Finding GPS Search Called Ride Finder
This one seems a bit out there to me. The idea is that you can spot available cabs on a map of your neighborhood and then call the taxi company with a cab closest to where you are. But anyone who takes cabs a lot knows there is little rhyme or reason when it comes to getting a taxi and often the cab right down the street is the last to come to your rescue. But the GPS tie-in to Google Maps is nice and hopefully the beginning of some interesting new search services.
