Aneesh offers some great insights into how rBlock might be of interest to Washington D.C., since…

… the federal government is looking for ways to hyperlocalize its vast amount of open data – rBlock might distribute selected data by block so that residents could more easily sustain conversations with their neighbors about national priorities;

… the federal government has launched a community health data initiative to promote best practices for good health – rBlock might work with organizations such as www.health2challenge.org to sponsor community challenges, both at the block level and within the wider community;

…the federal government is in the API business and is always looking for creative ways to improve its customer service – rBlock might make it easier for residents to identify a few important federal government services that are relevant in terms of geography and timing, and to avail of such services through rBlock’s platform.
