*** PLEASE VOTE FOR OUR APP!!! *** INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
Here’s a short video showcasing our first entry to iStrategyLabs‘ “Apps for Democracy” contest. Our first submission is a Realtime, location-aware DC alerting tool for the iPhone, which includes crime reports, building permits and more. This data is provided by Washington, DC and we’re making it “location aware,” meaning the crime alerts in your area, for example, show up first.
In fact, we can easily location-enable any RSS or XML feed that contains location data, and turn that into an application on the iPhone, and soon Blackberry, with many other phones coming. If you have an RSS or XML feed you’d like to have behave as a location-aware application, complete with your own custom-branded icon, just let us know!
VOTE FOR OUR APP! IT JUST TAKES 1 SECOND
Our application is featured on the Apps for Democracy website.

FABULOUS example of public/private partnership to capitalize on free access to structured data. I’ll be featuring you in forthcoming book on the subject.
