+Just in case you weren't sure of the whole web 2.0 thing had jumped the shark or not, there's now a web service for finding the nearest restroom on your mobile device. Yes, you read that right.
+
+[MizPee][2] is a new web service that aims to deliver information regarding the location of nearby restrooms.
+
+And it gets better, once you enter your location MizPee will send back not only a list of nearby toilets but also provide ratings (ranging from 1-5 rolls) and even user comments. Also included are details like whether or not a payment is required, if the restroom has disabled access or diaper changing facilities.
+
+The site can be accessed via your mobile device at mizpee.com or you can send an SMS message from your phone.
+
+One on hand this could be genuinely useful in some cases (the upper west side in the New York has always been a touch place to find a restroom), but at the same time it seems a bit ridiculous as well, is it so hard to stop someone on the street and ask them if they know of a restroom in the area?
+
+However I should note that while I find the whole thing funny, my girlfriend assures me that there is market for exactly this sort of information.
+
+And at least now you can rest easy knowing you'll have no trouble finding a restroom after waiting in line for your new iPhone.
