Want to b**** about City Hall? There’s an App for that

By Jeff — Jeff Wilson

No, not the fake one I wrote about earlier, this is the real McCoy:

The timing on this is impeccable. Disappointed Apple fans, distraught over the joke that is the iPad, can now at least console themselves with the revolutionary new City of Santa Clarita iBitch App, which allows you to report problems, the GPS coordinates thereof and even upload pictures of the problem to the fine folks at City Hall.

(Side note, have they really thought this through? Imagine your typical iPhone user. Now enable them to upload pictures and complaints directly to City Hall from their iDevice. Disaster and hilarity are sure to ensue.)

Android, WebOS and S60 users…report your problems the old fashioned way, by writing a nasty Letter to the Editor or bitching on this blog.

All kidding aside….I’m jealous. I would be all over this if it worked on my phone. I could report a dozen potholes between here and my house.

    People DO write City Hall and say nice things Jeff. It is possible that occasionally City Hall does things right.

    I am one of those who do also write to praise when I believe it is earned. Don’t get me wrong, I have been known to complain too but I believe we live in a great City and I am reminded of that fact every time I drive outside City limits. Go team Santa Clarita!

    Damn it. I need to get an iPhone.

    The iPhone app only has 2 1/2 stars. Its also pretty limited. I was expecting something totally different. Maybe that’s due to Jeff’s mock up he gave us several weeks back
