SeeClickFix
SeeClickFix is a website and mobile app that allows citizens to report and document non-emergency issues to communicate them to those accountable for the public space. Issues that are reported are recorded on a map for everyone to see, vote on, discuss and resolve. We allow citizens to adopt web technology for their town immediately: collaboration and transparency in a box. Don't wait for others - get started.

Did I mention that SCF makes government cheaper, more transparent, and more accessible? I like it.

SeeClickFix is great as it is using a mash-up concept, but on steroids. Thanks to familiarity with Google maps among Web users it is very intuitive to use ... Great system!!

SeeClickFix is terrific. I really like the fact that issues can be submitted and acted on in a distributed fashion.
