Crowdsourcing Your Arguments: Sidetaker
by Zog
You know those arguments that keep coming up and you just can’t seem to come to a resolution? You both think you are right? Sidetaker allows you to write up your argument and send an invite to the dissenting party. Should they choose to accept the invite, they will be able to write up their own side of the conflict, at which point the argument will be posted (anonymously) for all the world to deliberate. Readers can take a side and add their reactions, comments, and suggestions for a resolution. Even if it isn’t for everyone, it is a brilliant idea. A few examples:
His unemployed ass drives the newer car
Never offers to cook clean or shop
My dad wont let me date a black guy
Decoy cookies in the cabinet so annoying
I love it. I definitely want to post my arguments on there. Of course, the internet being what it is, you get the young, liberal viewpoint – but being somewhat young and liberal myself – not such a problem.
