Facebook App Allows Customers To Report Power Outages Online

Want to let your utilities company know that the power is out? There's a Facebook app for that. Chicago-based ComEd announced Tuesday that it has released a Facebook application that allows customers to report power outages. By clicking on the "Report an Outage," tab on ComEd's Facebook page, users can let the company know when and where they've lost power. Users can also check on the status of outages through the app, which ComEd claims is the first of its kind.
