The Revitalist

In the eternal search for a parking space, two online services are connecting people and spaces.

Cambridge-based SpotScout has gotten a lot of coverage over the past year for their web/mobile service that allows people to reserve garage spaces, advertise their available personal spaces, and post when they will be leaving a street space. It's the available street parking element that is a really cool feature. They aren't live yet (seems to be some delay), but they are taking names for residents in Boston, New York and San Francisco. Like many of these web2.0 services, it's going to live or die on critical mass. The more people using the service, the better the options for users, and therefore more people will sign up, etc.

Peasy.com is a similar site based in London (via Springwise). It's an online booking service connecting space owners (personal and garage spaces) with people needing parking.
