IIP's most visible feature would most likely be the news articles that get populated.

As this site is specifically about politics, and to a certain extent, presidential politics, we thought that it'd be vital to keep people in the community aware of the current news.

Every 5 minutes or so, we check for news with BBC, Foxnews, and CNN. This news is automatically created as an article which user's can reply to.

Discussions on the other hand are articles that YOU can create. If you've got a topic that isn't specifically a news item, then create it yourself, and start a discussion with others in the community.

And what are Policies? Policies are a little more one-sided. They are articles that you can create on specific topics, where you can present your views, and see who agrees, and who doesn't.

And finally, replies. You can create a reply to a news article, or a discussion.

But what's so good about all these? It's not that you can do it, but it's how you do it.

To ANY of them you can:

Oh, and more features coming VERY soon!
