CreateDebate: A Web 2.0 bit of fun!

Okay, my moniker is the Northstar Nerd, thus ... the eternal debate, Geek or Nerd!?

Via Puneet Gupta's blog who is the CEO of Connectbeam I learned about a new site, TradeVibes, which reviews Silicon Valley startups. This web service reviews a phenomenal number of young companies, and allows you to read reviews, and give an opinion on the future of those same companies.

TradeVibes introduced me to CreateDebate. This Web 2.0 company allows any user to create debates where any netizen (i.e. user) may take part in the discussion. Thus, I pondered... what debate should I create as a test? Eureka!

• My Debate - Nerd or Geek: Which is better; Which is worse?

You can chime in and give your six cents ... I've even linked Weird Al's White and Nerdy Video, with Donny Osmond dancing in the background! If this is not an incentive, I don't know what is! Vote now, vote often. If you want to watch the full YouTube Video, follow this link.

If you think CreateDebate is good for arguing, you should check out http://arg.umentum.com/. Personally I find it much more intuitive and stimulating. It was designed based on argumentation theory and several academic papers on the economics of online discussion. This clearly shows, as the conversations never seem to end. Definately check it out if you get the chance.
