I used it with a client and saw absolutely terrible metrics. We burned through a ton of cash and got almost zero results. To be fair: I've only had one client try it & I'd argue that they weren't the best fit, but I'd be very interested in seeing what other people's results were here.
What do others think about the safety of using Waze? One thing that I have noticed is that the app encourages me to interact with it as I'm driving in order to add data to the system. It's a little hypocritical of me to complain about this because sometimes I text or check email while driving, which I know I should not do, but it still feels weird that Waze actually encourages me to read the screen and interact with…
Eventually, probably, the front-end will become, if not irrelevant, less important. Of course, much of the back-end could be kept with incremental improvements to handle new forms of data.
That's also a pretty long time horizon.
Who, other than Google, is a respectable entrant in this space? Did they just consume their only competition?

sometimes I text or check email while driving, which I know I should not do I don't mean to pick on you here. You are clearly aware, but it still needs to be said: Please do not email, text, or even talk on a cell phone while driving. Driving is the most dangerous task that is socially acceptable for nonprofessionals to perform. It is very irresponsible to make such a task any more difficult than it needs to be.

IMO only when this is treated like DUI will it be taken more seriously. It sounds radical, but the activity is easily avoidable, seriously diminishes your focus and can have horrible consequences.
It's already illegal to use a cell phone while driving in Ontario, Canada. Hands-free devices are still okay, however (I disagree with that part). http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/distracted-driving/

Waze actually has several features in place to make it safer: * Waze is designed only to be used by a passenger. Any field that requires typing, etc. warns you if you're moving and makes you acknowledge that you are a passenger to continue. * Waze has a hands-free capability where you can wave your hand in front of the phone and interact with Waze via voice. It actually works pretty well. * The UI is designed with bi…

Has anybody familiar with Waze's monetization system? I used it with a client and saw absolutely terrible metrics. We burned through a ton of cash and got almost zero results.
