How many times do you hear the phrase "I've got so many different passwords for accounts that I can barely remember which one is which?" There's the computer account, the iTunes, my online banking and so many more I can't remember them all myself now...oh yeah Facebook...it's never ending.

Then newspapers and printed media entered the scene offering content and insight to a broader crowd. Then came the digital age and then came CivicBoom. It's a news app that connects the people that have news content with the people that need it. Read more
