Just launched from a VA-based tech company, this free iPhone app takes the deadly hassle out of making everyone jealous over your sweet road trip: with the push of a button, it'll geo-locate you, then send out a tweet with text like "Just arrived in Middletown, CT"; amazingly, to retract a tweet, all you need to do is shake your phone, or simply hurl it out the window for reminding you that you're in Middletown, CT.

"Tap n' Go" technology! It's like the not-too-distant future! ...at RoadTweets.com
