Three Minds On Digital Marketing @ Organic

High gas prices bothering you?  Well you’re not alone thousands are taking it to the web through sites such as gasbuddy.com.  One of several gas price sites that will show current gasoline prices from across the country. What is cool about this site is that it is North America wide.  So you can type in your zip or postal code and it will plot price per gallon/litre for you.  Another feature is that it will map out stations along your route. (US only).

The site itself it pretty straight forward, but what intrigued me is the fact that “people” update the site in their spare time and garner points.  They then can exchange points for gas cards/credits.  There is torontogasprices.com, ottawagasprices.com etc. all associated with the same “network” of gas pricers.

This phenomenon of “helping” one another find cheaper gas is another example of the potential power of the Internet. Can’t wait until they push a daily message to my mobile device to remind me each morning of how badly I’m getting scorched by “big oil”.
