Great question. You can see raw data from a conversation on biodiversity that took place in New Zealand in partnership with the Ministry of Conservation and hosted by an independent news organization here: https://github.com/compdemocracy/openData/tree/master/scoop-hivemind.biodiversity https://github.com/compdemocracy/openData/tree/master/scoop-... If you take a look at the comments file, you can judge whether the system has been successful at getting people to submit a single idea at a time for people to agree and disagree on. My assessment is: mostly yes, sometimes there are still multiple ideas in 140 characters. The system encourages the decomposition of ideas, so that we can identify which factors may be ignorable and which are significant to our purposes (consensus/disagreement/differentation).
