Anecdotally: yes, it has for me and many people I know. It's not because the app is cool. It's because it eliminates the biggest points of friction of taking a cab (namely, ensuring that one arrives soonish, and payment). It woul

FWIW, our plan is to integrate the Zite recommendation engine into Flipboard (and import your Zite data). I've love to have your feedback as we build it.
