ParkingCarma is the premier player in this space…I am surprised you did not mention them…they are active in the Bay area.

We are trying to provide analogous service for airport parking customers at Cheap Airport Parking
We started with LAX Airport, so far the challenge is to persuade travelers to park long-term on small no-name facilities. People are ready to pay double to make sure their cars are left at Hilton or Radisson, rather than somewhere like Sunrise parking.

I heard about SpotScout 4 years ago or was that 5 years ago?
I would not get your hopes up…

It seems the SpotScout CEO has a skill for marketing, but without a crack engineering team. Haven’t heard of any engineering work done in Boston for SpotScout. Outsourced? I’m guessing SpotScout is heading for the dead pool.

I hope Andrew wasn’t talking about our sites as being “crappy”. At least we have sites that are running and at least helping people with some of their needs. ParkingSearch.com gets emails everyday saying that the site is very useful and its been running for 5 years. We have been in the WSJ and Crain’s Chicago. We’ve been listed on financial and real estate websites. I wonder what would happen if all the different business models were combined to offer one complete solution for online, mobile, GPS, etc?

Someone should tell the CEO of SpotScout about “release early, release often.” And he should listen ;)
