So I find these types of email / messages quite amusing. First, that someone would actually take the time to sit down and write something like this means they have an extraordinary amount of time (read: no friends or life). Second, the message is typically so vague and cryptic, the author really just comes off as a complete retard imbecile. Third, the author rarely identifies themselves only reinforcing their cowardice and lack of utter integrity. If you’re going to call me names, at least tell me who you are you wuss.

To what am I referring? Well, I got this message to my MySpace account a few weeks ago, and I just had to laugh. I’ve now posted the message for all of you to enjoy.

So… enjoy!

In case some of you can’t see the image, I’ve transcribed it here:

“City Sourced is the most outrageous capitalistic bullshit I have ever seen. If you want a “clean” neighborhood, move to the fucking suburbs to slowly die like the rest of the feeble fucks like you. I don’t like you at all. Major fail.”

I don’t know if many of you know, but I founded a company called CitySourced recently. Very simply, we make it really easy to make your city a better place with your smartphone. See a pothole or some graffiti? Snap a picture of it with your iPhone and it automatically gets reported to City Hall. Cool, eh? Well, I think it is. (Granted, I’m really, really geeky) While our application works in over 1900 cities nationwide, we recently launched CitySourced as the official mobile platform for the City of San Jose. We held a download day on December 12th, and I have to say, the results are really impressive. In just a few days, hundreds of issues have been reported, and all those issues have been worked into the backend workflow of the city itself. The reports that get filed will be automatically updated when at various stages in the report lifecycle (submission, confirm receipt, resolved, etc.) This is just one of many cities to adopt our platform officially, and we’re excited to bring on many more as the new year approaches.

If you’d like to download the CitySourced application for your city, you can do so here (it’s completely free!) – http://itunes.apple.com/app/citysourced/id336854714

And if you have any issues that come up, please don’t hesitate to email them to me.

Enjoy the app, and have a very safe and happy holiday!
