The Future of Reputation: Gossip, Rumor, and Privacy on the Internet is a great book written by associate professor of law at the George Washington University Law School, Daniel J. Solove, discussing how the internet affects privacy issues. This book also makes mention of PlateWire (p. 86)!

How's your driving?

Been rude to other motorists lately?

Wasn't that you leapfrogging through traffic, cutting people off and giving them the old one-finger salute? In fact, isn't that your licence plate posted online, along with a description of your car and a blog telling all about your atrocious driving?

Yes, listed right there on the Internet, for everybody to see, on one of those websites where people vent about encounters they've had with rude and reckless drivers, like you.

I can't stand slow drivers or that annoying guy in my political science class who can't seem to get enough of his own voice. I hate bad dates and Wal-Mart is the pits.

I could continue, but I'll tell you right now: I like to complain, and venting tends to be my only solution. From bad quiz grades to a runny nose, my friends and family are the first to get an earful of my sorrows.

Yes, PlateWire's next version has taken much longer than I originally anticipated, but I am almost there. Currently polishing off the logic that will import and transform the data from the existing site into the new sites' data schema. Once that is done it's just a matter of a few tweaks in the license plate maker (users will now have the ability to add custom plates templates to be used when filing wires) and some tweaks to user registration and I'll be ready to launch the private beta.

Once again I want to thank everyone that has helped throughout this process, your feedback was invaluable!

I also wanted to share a screenshot of the new versions' Class Diagram (for the non technical, a Class Diagram is just a graphical representation of the logic that encompasses an application). As context, PlateWire's current versions' Class Diagram only has 6 objects.

In response to a newsreaders' question about how to react to road rage, the Three Wise Guys, Joe Heim, Justin Rude, and Dan Zak, recommend PlateWire!

"If you've ever found yourself furious at the thoughtless driver who cut you off, or sped right by, or tailgated and you felt the need to get them back? Well now you can... online with a website called PlateWire.com."

Great story by Eyewitness 11 News from Raleigh-Durham North Carolina.

I am very excited about how the new site is coming together, so I wanted to share a preview of the look and feel of the upcoming version.

I'd love to hear everyone's feedback.

As PlateWire's popularity continues to grow, web sites of a similar nature are launching on a regular basis. After some discussion with other webmasters (including AboveAverageDriver.com's Chris) we came to the conclusion that this niche market would benefit from having one single clearinghouse to exchange messaging of license plates.

For instance, say Joe in California, witnesses Suzy's teenage daughter driving recklessly down the highway. Perhaps Joe does contact the authorities but they deem it low priority. So Joe goes home and send a "wire" to the plate, using AboveAverageDriver. Suzy on the other hand is registered on PlateWire to receive a notification if any of her plates are messaged. WIthout PlateXchange, Judy would have not received the message regarding her daughters reckless driving (unless she would have checked on AAD's website).

PlateXchange offers an Open Source system for web sites to communicate license plate packages amongst themselves.

So if you run a license plate based web site, or have a neat idea that you think would take off, but have avoided launching it, because others have something similar, now is your chance to participate in a growing network of niche web sites!
