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.
