YONKERS, NY – March 28, 2013 – Mayor Mike Spano today announced the City of Yonkers is expanding its presence on social media by launching new pages on sites including Tumblr, Instagram and Flickr. The City also launched a new problem solver application on its Facebook page for residents to express concerns or issues.
“As I stated in the State of the City last week, City Hall isn’t just a physical address,” said Mayor Spano. “It’s even more than a web address -- it’s at your fingertips at any social media site. We are using technology to bring residents and visitors better and faster information about city services and events, while providing alternate outlets for them to express their needs and concerns.”
Since rebranding the City’s Facebook and Twitter sites last year, the City has utilized social media to launch resident contests, conduct polls, and share news and photos regarding community events.
Referring to the new pages on Tumblr, Instagram and Flickr, Mayor Spano added, “We anticipate our presence on these additional sites will extend our reach throughout the City, particularly with our younger, more mobile and tech-savvy residents.”

Is Spano managing all of these sites himself or have we hired a trope to the friends and family club to "manage these sites"? And the perennial question always is How much is this costing us?
