You’re Living in a Digital City

By: Mr. Wilson on November 18, 2008
You may not know it, but you are living in the "top digital city" in the nation, according to the Center for Digital Government. Not only that, but Lincoln's recognition as the master of ones and zeros is a repeat. More details. Lincoln's population category in the competition peaks at 249,999, a number we will surpass before we know it. What do we have to compete with in the over-250,000 category? Aurora, Colorado's site won that category this year. We can whup 'em, don't you think? Lincoln's InterLinc won't win any beauty pageants, but it does contain quite a few very useful features. If you could add a feature or change an existing feature, what would it be?

Consistency, layout, and navigation.  The whole site just feels like they gave Microsoft Frontpage (shudder…) to each department head and said “Go!”  Each page is different from the next, and this makes it very difficult to get around.  It usually seems like I can’t find the same piece of info twice in a row.  As for navigation, it seems they pulled a page from the classic AOL playbook - keywords?  What do I do if I don’t know the keyword?  When it works, it works well - I’ll give them that.  But there’s been numerous times when I’m trying to find something and I just stare blankly at the keyword box.

It’d be nice if most of the departments would have an FAQ instead of an email address for questions. Other than that, it’s not too shabby.
