WAZE: how social media makes a difference when you drive.

In today’s daily driving, people never know what’s ahead of them. For example, traffic, police, and many hazards. WAZE is one of the first GPS apps in combating these daily issues. The social network it has established among the years consist of daily drivers (some which happen to be your Facebook friends) which are ahead of you while you drive; they report data and protect the upcoming driver.

Other benefits include in how the WAZE system changes the way you travel based on the reports reported ahead by other known & unknown drivers.  In other words, if traffic is reported ahead, WAZE will literally change your route to avoid that traffic. WAZE has utilized social networking to change the way people drive by protecting each other from any type of possible danger. This social network used daily by WAZE is something that past GPS systems lacked. In a sense, without an actual human network, what WAZE does would in fact be something impossible to do.

In my opinion, it makes me feel safe to know all the hazards ahead of me while I drive, especially if it’s an actual person vs. a computer reporting all the daily incidents. This would be something impossible to do if it was not for the daily community social driving network that protects each other every single day.

I recommend WAZE to everyone that wants to utilize social networking to be protected from all the hazards while driving.
