Los Angeles, CA – September 16, 2010 – In November of 2008 Newsweek called Barack Obama, "President 2.0" and labeled his successful, distributed, bidirectional method of government/constituent collaboration, "Government 2.0" as a play on the idea of, "Web 2.0." This dramatic shift from the top-down dissemination of content to a distributed, mass-sourced model, Web 2.0 has fueled the explosion of smart phones, Blogs and Social Networking. Applying this concept to the operation of government is what Government 2.0 is all about; DreamBox Creations (a leading Los Angeles-based Internet Consulting firm) said – let’s make an app for that.
Purposely architected from the ground-up to leverage a city government's existing technology infrastructure and workflow Government 2.0 is the tool to facilitate this new twenty-first century method of governing. The product's proven, hosted framework can be deployed city-wide after a few minutes of configuration and mouse-clicks.
Leveraging the latest Apple iPhone capabilities the Government 2.0 app for iPhone allows users that download the free application to view important participating city news for the city they’re currently located in, have an immediate link to the same city’s web site and submit any number of issues with GPS coordinates and photograph plus description along with suggestions to designated recipients at the city-government level.
Cities that sign-up to enable Government 2.0 within their jurisdiction will be able to leverage the secure web-based administration console. This tool allows staff to define where within their organization various constituent-submissions should be directed based on submission / issue-type. Additionally, a complete reporting suite allows staff to filter issue results by a variety of criteria and track trends and view their placement on a map of their city.
The Government 2.0 app for iPhone is the first of a family of products that will see additional platform support during upcoming months. More information is available at www.govt20.com.
