SitOrSquat tells you where to go (literally)

SitOrSquat is a handy service that helps you find the nearest public bathroom. Unlike MizPee, which has been doing this since October of last year, SitOrSquat has gotten its act together enough to put out two great apps for iPhones and Blackberry phones. The key benefit of these being the inclusion of GPS, which narrows down where you are with just one click. If you're in a hurry--which is inevitable when using a service like this, this feature is immensely helpful.

In addition to its GPS locating, the mobile application lets you take photos of the facilities from your … Read more

Diaroogle helps you find clean public bathrooms

When you've gotta go you've gotta go. Unfortunately, finding a place to do that when you're in New York, one of the largest cities in the world, can be difficult unless you've got some local knowledge.

Human-powered search engine Diaroogle is up to the task. It'll help you find the nearest toilet based off its user-generated database. Like Mizpee, which does the same thing but with a much cuter pretense, it's got user ratings for general cleanliness, the rules of gaining entrance, and occasionally even pictures snapped by users to show how good or … Read more

MizPee goes 2.0

I have cruelly mocked the restroom rating and locating service MizPee in the past. But I'm here now to atone for my meanness, lock my inner 12-year-old in his room, and give this service, which was recently updated, a fair shake.

Not that kind of shake.

Seriously: this is a service that helps you find a clean restroom when you need it. There's a mobile version of the site, which has more cities than it used to (16 total), as well as a new full-screen version, where users can more easily type in reviews of the restrooms they'… Read more

Press Releases We Never Finished Reading Dept., Bathroom Division

At CTIA this week, you'll see lots of cool new gadgets and hear about plenty of enterprise successes in the world of wireless. But sometimes what you don't see is the best part of the show. One thing MizPee.com users don't have to see is a filthy restroom.

Why not finish reading this one? First of all, yuck. Second, to my horror, we've already covered it.

Find a bathroom or a significant other for you and your gerbil

Two start-ups that caught our eye at last night's SFbeta here in San Francisco were MizPee and DateMyPet.com. Not so much for their services, which to be honest, aren't the most necessary we've seen, but rather their ingenuity for finding some interesting ways to direct people towards something they're looking for.

In the case of MizPee, that direction comes in the way of bathrooms. Yes, MizPee helps you find and rate public bathrooms. Like HotSpotr, another SFbeta demonstrator of the past, users can login to the service on their mobile devices and hunt for available … Read more
