MYFOXNY.COM - New York City officials have unveiled new technological initiatives, including a 311 iPhone app and Zumbox, a paperless mailing system. Zumbox is a secure electronic mailbox company that creates individual accounts assigned to a street address.
The company says this service allows city agencies to create communications specifically tailored to them, including mailings about promotions, events, or city work that is going on in their neighborhoods; citywide notifications and PSAs including recycling guidelines or locations of city facilities; and home and business-specific government notifications like property tax notifications.
