nithinsujir - 13-APR-2010
I came across this article on slashdot (a tech site). It's an excellent idea that is working for a lot of communities. http://radar.oreilly.com/2010/04/crowdsourcing-the-dpw.html Is this something that can work in Bangalore? This a great way to report issues such that they are visible to everyone. The reports that are in the newspaper are easily forgotten. But this way it will remain until fixed. We will also be able to guage the responsiveness of our local governments. Discuss.
Thanks, Nithin.

Survey results - cleanliness, pollution top local issues!? admin123 - 22-MAR-2009
After about 3000 responses, here is how the results look like. The results are a function of how the poll was structured, and remember, this reflects the sentiments of urban, online populace of the city. Regardless, instead of analyzing this in various ways ourselves, why don't we leave it to readers and members to make sense of thes numbers. In case you are not very good with numbers, we have highlighted the top 3-4 items in each category :) |
