Introduction

Santa Barbara is a beautiful and interesting city, and we are creating a place for citizens of the region to contribute news and information. Local and regional headlines are available from national sources like SB Google News (aka gNews SB); social media; and from local sources like Edhat, KEYT, Noozhawk, Independent, and KSBY. We believe citizens on the scene can benefit from a central place to share breaking news. We aim to supplement and support all local news and information resources. In the event of major events or disasters, local sources may be offline or overwhelmed. Furthermore, since information is scattered among many sources a robust central location for citizen news and information can be especially helpful during such events.

This SBcitizen.com website has been moved to SbitZ.NET

This sbCitizen.com website was de-activated after the first few posts and replaced by SbitZ.NET (a shortcut for groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sbitz). That's a more convenient place for anyone to view. With a free Google account you can also sign up to join as a Member and share questions or comments; "follow" it with a selection of automatic email updates when there's anything new added; and share any photos, videos, links or information via text, email or web browser.

Please see the Introduction on SBitZ.NET for more info. Posts since July 10, 2017 have been placed there, and anyone can read those without sign up. The reason only Members can contribute there, is to reduce the chances of anyone adding advertising, negative or unhelpful posts there. We welcome all positive, friendly and helpful contributions there.
