Local is f'n hard - if you can crack it, there's so much $ to be made (just look at thumbtack). There's a reason why Google has spent so much $ at SMBs/local - adwords was their first 10 figures revenue generator, local has the potential to be the next one.

@sol_orwell Again, thanks for your question Sol. Yes, local is a challenge. Getting the right information to so many different neighborhoods in real time is why folks- so far- love neighborhoods.

@sol_orwell Thanks Sol. Of course. Nextdoor is a great platform. Our work however is quite different in what we serve, and how we serve it to NYers. Every neighborhood has dynamic content that continuously generated. It is also available in multiple languages.

Hi all- our team at Vizalytics created neighborhoods.nyc in a public and private partnership with the City of New York Mayor's office of Innovation and Technology. The goal is to make the site useful for every NYer to know what's happening in their local neighborhood, to have access to resources (check out the look up tools). It's available in 13 languages, and is mean for web and mobile.

@sol_orwell @aileengemma Thanks for your question Sol. Our previous work with Mind My Business, a mobile app for shopkeepers was a tremendous starting point. We demonstrated that we understand city data, and were able to consistently and continually engage a hard to reach audience. The app won at NYC Big Apps last year. We also believe in building relationships, and demonstrating excellence through our efforts.

Wow, I really wish we had something like this during the SC flooding the other week. It took so long to look up water advisories and all that.

@jwood Hi Jon- thanks for that feedback. We do plan to reach other cities. And I empathize with the needs to emergency situations. My hometown was hit by Hurricane Sandy- and that impressed upon me in a humbling way why we need to create platforms to easily get information to people. I saw first hand the need for resources, and folks not knowing where to turn, or too many disparate sources- and I wanted to do something to make a difference.

Great private-public partnership between Mayor's Office & startup Vizalytics. Uses open data to show real-time updates on transit, traffic, parking and construction for each neighborhood.

Another piece on our work: http://www.niemanlab.org/2015/10... Our goal is to make this useful for every NYer. A smart city is a connected city- where folks get access to information that matters to them.
