We’ve told you all about Citizens Connect, the City of Boston’s iPhone app where you can log graffiti, potholes, broken street lights and any other issues you’re having out there. If you don’t have it yet, get it, and if you don’t have an iPhone, we’ll be up on Android and other platforms very soon.
Well, the City has expanded its media reach with their brand new Twitter account: @NotifyBoston.
Get on Twitter and follow @NotifyBoston to get updates on road closures, emergencies, City services and lots more. Also, make sure to tweet to them about any issues you see. We promise you’ll get a quick response and prompt, quality service.
And for those of you still using a phone and only a phone, give 617-635-4500 a call to let the us know about any problems you’re having out there in the neighborhoods.
AND…
just got word last night that Citizens Connect is a finalist for a MITX tech award!
As DC would say… BAM!
oh, and i tweeted @notifyboston re a cab that refused to take credit card payments and drove off when i asked him for his driver’s number.
i heard back from @notifyboston within NINE minutes. they forwarded my request to BPD and i’ve spoken with the officer to get the deets on my “case!”. they brought the driver in and … who knows what went down. (still waiting for my stiches)
all i know is, i am a VERY HAPPY customer.
thanks @notifyboston (and sorry for being a pest!)
