Arguably the best general feature of digiciti.org is the interconnectivity of all its parts. The features to be described in the following sections all connect in some form, and those connections are a major part of what is unique about how Digital Citizen improves civic engagement. At present, if someone wants to go online and comment with their response to a news article regarding a political issue they would go to Facebook, visit a blog, or perhaps comment on the online article page itself. This experience is enhanced by interconnectivity of political resources on digiciti.org because this user would be able to transform this comment into a debate with their friends or the general public. It could be used to initiate a petition, or simply be enhanced by easy connections to legislative bill information or politician profiles who are involved in the issue. Currently, if one wanted to tie these things together they would have to visit five or more separate web sites and conduct careful searches, making multiple online entries and filling out forms. The people with whom they tried to share the content have to follow a trail of breadcrumbs left behind by the poster in all the links they will have to go through and different sites they would have to navigate to fully participate in the discussion. By bringing existing resources together in one platform, with databases that can supply information across each section, and adding new means of easy political expression, the clutter of the online political sphere can be significantly reduced and draw in a larger audience with a higher sense of empowerment.
