This new app connects through your social networks to find bathroom’s of friends of friends, to save you the ordeal of having to use a downtown public restroom. The host gets a payment (as well as free bathroom accessories through brand partnerships) and the customer gets a (hopefully) cleaner bathroom experience.</p> <p>In their own words:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>CLOO’ is based on one simple truth- we all have to pee. Though in urban cities finding a clean, available restroom is difficult & frustrating. That’s where CLOO’ comes in.</p> <p>CLOO’ is a community of registered users who choose to share their bathrooms and make city-living easier, while earning a small profit. Using social media connections, CLOO’ shows what friends you have in common with the host, turning a stranger’s loo into a friend of a friend’s loo.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://digitising.tumblr.com/post/9918540052http://digitising.tumblr.com/post/9918540052Wed, 07 Sep 2011 09:56:22 -0500digital disruptionsocialappscloo<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr4sg8VNrl1r0bikqo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Bartz out of Yahoo?
