With their smartphones and various social media accounts, everyone is a micro-journalist now. Especially in bigger cities, social media acts a crowdsourced tool that keeps inhabitants updated with real-time information on traffic, road conditions, social events. Spectafy sets free your social media accounts from such questions while helping you reach a larger community to get on-demand and on-location answers as text and/or image. For now, the use is limited to San Francisco but will be spreading to other cities all over the world!
