On my to-do someday list is a site for recording and organizing debates. Arguments would appear as boxes of text, organized into a tree structure. Opposing arguments could be added as children to a parent node. Arguments could be filtered by up/down voting or some other system. Debate trees could be searched. Etc...
Somebody really should make this. I remember messing with some Flash site somewhere that did something similar, but the interface was pretty lowzy.
- wallflower 19y agoI think you're on to something here. If the debates weren't structured (e.g. on a single site) but distributed across blogs. Something that can automatically categorize the blogosphere discussion - e.g. who's agreeing/who's disagreeing (what's the median level of agreement/disagreement). I'd like it for the sole feature of finding/filtering out the (sometimes useless) echo-chamber opinions - to surface the divergent disagreements/opinions User-originated voting is good but combining it with intelligent algorithmic appraisal (what they are voting by what they are saying) might be interesting
- vishu 19y agoMy partner and I have been working on something similar at thinklinkr.com. We are currently (3/31/08) showing our crude version to friends and iterating rapidly. Drop me a line at vishu at thinklinkr.com and I'll send you an invitation.
