Twitter Founders, Valley Tech Giants Launch Concept Video To Make SF Smarter
"It'd be awesome to use technology to fix some of the problems that San Franciscans see every day," says Twitter chairman and Square founder Jack Dorsey, in an all-star video promoting San Francisco's new open government and tech advocacy group, sf.citi. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone imagines smart bus displays that track public and private transit in realtime, while Airbnb founder Brian Chesky wants to blanket the city with public Wi-Fi by converting old telephone booths (whichhas been done in New York). Spearheaded by angel investor Ron Conway and backed by more than 300 prominent companies, sf.citi aims to hand over more government services to volunteer "civic" hackers and coordinate support for policy reforms, such as the Proposition E tax reform.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/jj9CUQFO0_c/
