I've been sitting on zippermerging.com for a while hoping to do something useful with it, since I'm a believer in the cause. What else can we do to get the word out?

Let me know if you need design or product help on this, I'd love to help :)

Well, I am currently not doing anything with this. Would you like to take it over? I was thinking of something like zippermerging.com bumper stickers to raise awareness. That's the only bumper sticker I'd ever put on one of my vehicles. I was working on a bunch of clever sayings to put on the bumper stickers. And have links to informational videos at the site, along with some animations to show the advantages. Eventually I'd try to get the local Department of Transportation on board, and maybe get the legislature involved. I could envision public service type billboards, etc..

Even just a simple single page webpage right now with a fake quote like "75% of people know the benefits of zipper merging but are afraid to do it for fear of getting nasty looks. Next time you see someone who gets it let them in and give them a smile" and then a few simple videos explaining what it is, how it works, and why it's better.

P.S. or rather than starting with a fake stat throw up a simple survey and collect real stats.
