CitySourced : Waking Up The Neighborhood
22 Sep2009
What a great success story – and it’s just getting started.
Jason Kiesel gave us access to publicly elected officials through his application – Freedom Speaks.
This resonated with an aggressive path Kurt Daradics (aka ‘KurtyD‘) was taking by waking up the neighborhood with the power of the social graph – Co-founding the Digital Family and our group, MOTM.
They combined energies to create a civic engagement platform called CitySourced, empowering the population to better the environment (using smart-phones). Wining a spot at TC50, they take third place but win over the media and judges with a tool that is already changing the way cities are managed.
Check out some of the outstanding media coverage. Let’s shift our focus to building tools that change the world, as Ben Kuo recognizes the socalTECH community vision.
Congrats guys!
