BigAppsNYC launches but opaqueness remains

dear mayor boomburg, DOITT & NYCEDC,

i’m confused as to why NYCEDC has decided to deliver the BigAppsNYC campaign in such an opaque manner. while i’m all for this program, i’m troubled by it’s execution. as of 9:00 am http://www.nycbigapps.com/ is live, but one must wait till 5pm to see the data (& wait till NY Tech meetup to officially hear about it’s launch). too boot, no where on the http://www.challengepost.com/ website (the organization who’s software is running the campaign) can you find a person, a phone number, or a face behind the product. if gov 2.0 is about transparency, accessibility, and accountability, this “soft launch” doesn’t meet the mustard.

thx,
noneck
