Fixing up the neighborhood

by Marnie Webb

SeeFixClick provides a help desk like function for your neighborhood.  Broken street light? Enter it.  A bed dumped in an empty lot?  Enter that too.  Basically, any non-emergency issue is fair game.

Why do they do it? As they say:

Imagine a world where every citizen feels empowered and part of their neighborhood. Imagine if everyone trusted and felt taken care of by their local government. We know there are already a lot of involved citizens and hard-working local authorities and service people. We seek to use the power of the internet to bring them closer together and reach even more people.

And like any good Internet/community/mashup-y site, they have widgets that let you expose the issues on your own website (let's see some local government folks add that to the plain old city sites).
