WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT –

Now here is a job with real reach.  Bloomberg has been at the forefront of turning NYC into the leader in digital data and harnessing new technologies.  This tech focus has helped foster an improved metric system for the police as well as help guide the city into thought provoking policies such as the Times Square pedestrian initiative.  I can only imagine how well connected the candidates for this position will be.   What an amazing job!  NYC is like a laboratory for digital initiatives given the rat maze nature of the landscape and participants.  And yet there is so much more that can be done – imagine a 311 video helpline, VOD business initiatives, picture library to chronicle what infrastructure elements need repairing.  So many ideas and one fun place to implement.
