Where's the app? It's not in the app store/
We love our cities and so do the people who work in our city governments. However…given the complexity of city issues, lack of resources and multiple communication paths its sometimes easy to feel that we are living on different planes.
One hot new start up seeks to change all that and is generating a good deal of buzz. CitySourced makes available an Iphone application (soon on Palm and other devices) that allows citizens to identify graffiti, potholes and other examples of urban blight and then share the info with those in their city responsible for the fix. The process is simple. See an abandoned couch in front of your apartment building? Open the CitySourced app, take a quick picture, enter any comments and hit send. The picture along with your comments and GPS coordinates goes right to the city.
Having just recently take the runner up position at the prestigious TechCrunch 50, CitySourced capitalizes on the real-time, mobile, social opportunities presented in our Monday post with Scott Snyder.
