Text MizPee For to Find Nearby Toilets

by Anil Polat | Jun 27, 2007 | Tech | 0

MizPee is a free service that allows (US residents) to text their city and state to the following number – 415-350-2290 – to find the nearest bathroom. Each result is rated on cleanliness, handicap access, and includes the distance from your current location.

MizPee is still in beta so don’t expect flawless service, if you notice any bugs let us know. Remember to include details of the area (or even block) you’re on to get the most accurate results.

With a little foresight, you can get detailed information on the bathrooms along your travel path by reading the Bathroom Diaries before you head out the door.

Got A Good Deal From Airfare.com

After looking around for some good bargains for a last minute trip on a Wednesday night (the best time to buy) on FareCompare I noticed that many of the deals came from Airfare.com. The better (usually best) prices to Europe with the convenient times and dates I was looking for – I had a good experience with them.

The site interface is nice and clean and doesn’t require you to sign up to any mailing lists or do anything more than a simple registration. From their privacy policy:

We will not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, license, sell or redistribute any of your personal profile information.

Has anyone else booked with Airfare or have any good discount sites they’d like to share? Had my travels been solely within the US I would have given Skybus a chance.
