Video: CitySourced Brings Real-Time Tech to Enterprise & Government

2009-10-15T22:10:08Z

The real-time web isn't just for social apps. Its power to increase efficiency, accelerate response, and spot trends makes it ideal for organizational use, too.

CitySourced co-founder Kurt Daradics made an appearance at the ReadWrite Real-Time Web Summit today and talked to us about how his accolade-winning startup allows governments and other organizations to harness the power of real-time applications.

I'm with Dan. Would be nice if they mentioned which countries they're good in, and which cities.

For UK readers, FixMyStreet says "Enter a nearby GB postcode, or street name", so it's pretty clear what countries it relates to. FixMyStreet is a product of the top civic hacksters mySociety, is built on open source code for people who want to hack versions in other countries, and has been going for about 3 years now.

I'd be anxious to see as they get some more case studies under their belt about how cities and citizens are actually using it.

Dan.... interesting comments. You link to an article where it states that SeeClickFix was inspired by a similar start-up in the UK.... so not really sure what the motive of your comment is. CitySourced definitely focuses on the mobility and ease of use of it's application which seems entirely different to me (IMHO) than what SeeClickFix is about.

The real news here is Jolie O'Dell's hair. Looks like she's going head to head with Padmé Amidala. I like.

Sorry... I normally post intelligent insightful relevant comments I promise... Forgive me this once.

Has Read Write Web done a piece on SeeClickFix.Com yet? The site is International and growing like crazy.

City sourced seems like a copy.

Just saw this piece on SeeClickFix yesterday: http://springwise.com/life_hacks/seeclickfix/
