Inner Workings of Inner Connecting Dialogue

The foundation of the application we have designed is based off of a linear and categorical basis.  Which will involve the organization found in traditional blogs (linear) with the interaction found in wikis and forums (categorical).  Both have their own use of inner connecting dialogue, however we are working to revamp that traditional sense to further dialogue with a more interactive and engaging interface that we are calling Linear+Categorical.  Linear + Categorical displays related information on a stand alone page but when you click onto a comment or another posting it zooms into that displaying additional comments/information.

Importance of Input

 As with any thing the more a person involves themselves with a object or thought the more they will receive.  This idea falls into eDemocracy the more people initiate with the application the more leverage it can assist in making outcomes a reality.
