Young internet entrepreneurs have changed the way people book holidays, sell advertising space and meet old schoolfriends. The latest twentysomething to come up with a groundbreaking scheme believes he will revolutionise the way we park.
Anthony Eskinazi, 23, is set to go international with his website, www.parkatmyhouse.com. Having launched the venture in Britain this month, he has already presented his idea on US radio and could make millions if he expands his business across the globe. On Eskinazi's free website, users can advertise their parking spaces, normally a driveway. Those who are looking for somewhere to park simply type in the postcode of their destination. The advertiser and driver then contact each other and fix a price. They can even print off a pre-contract.
The site has been praised by other internet entrepreneurs and differs from other parking 'listings' websites, Eskinazi claims, because of its ease of use. 'I don't mean to be arrogant, but my site is better than everything else out there,' he said. 'Users can look up popular football or music stadiums, as well as transport links, and immediately see which spaces are available near by.'
Eskinazi said that his website already has up to 50,000 'hits' a day. He plans to launch in Canada, Australia and Europe, and is consulting US lawyers about the website's launch in North America.
