Subdude Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Houston drops to 9th for online services, information; Denver is topsDenver again took first place in Brown University's annual ranking of cities with the widest offerings of online municipal services and information, according to Governing Magazine. Houston came in 9th, down from 6th last year. The top 5 cities were Denver, San Diego, New York, Los Angeles, and Virginia Beach. The researchers analyzed an average of 26.8 sites per city, measuring them against such criteria as availability of government information and fully executable online services; means of communication between citizens and government; disability and foreign-language access; readability; and requirements for user fees. Brown found growing use of ads on municipal websites, and the occasional availability of unique services, such as San Francisco's online delivery of syphilis test results.
