The domains of the City and County of San Francisco

Just over a year ago, Mayor Bloomberg announced a redesign of NYC.gov, the official website of the government of New York City. When I learned of the announcement, I visited and clicked around. It’s an impressive site filled with helpful tools, incredibly useful resources, and history. Not all of the pages are pretty, but I appreciated that they were all under the same NYC.gov roof. One city, one domain^1.

San Francisco is a bit different. We have a lot of domains. After the launch of the redesigned NYC.gov, I emailed the SF Department of Technology and they shared their list of 45 domains. I kept looking and found another 35.

In sharing this list, I’m hoping someone will make something awesome with it. I’ve shared this list on GitHub here.

If you find more, let me know and I’ll add them.

Special thanks to Ron Vinson and the Department of Technology for contributing to the list, and to Zack Shapiro for encouraging me to publish things more often.

If you like lists, you should follow me on Twitter.

1. There are some exceptions to this. For a long list of sites under the NYC.gov roof, see here.

2. This is a really awesome initiative. SFUSD and IDEO are collaborating to rethink and redesign the district’s food system. IDEO’s site on this is beautiful. You can support it here.
