The Internet's leading social networking debate website, CreateDebate, today announced that it has launched in to a public beta.The answer to standard internet flame-wars and message boards that are an unreadable jumble of arguments is CreateDebate. A structure that lets people easily see what the best arguments are, and which side of a debate is winning is provided by the CreateDebate platform. People can create three kinds of debates and argue about any topic they are passionate about. The CreateDebate community is empowered to vote up well-conceived arguments and vote down flawed logic. The best arguments rise, over time, to the top of the debate, which helps to distill out the central points and most relevant factors.
So that better decisions can be made, CreateDebate, at the most basic level, is a social tool designed to help groups of people sort through issues, viewpoints, and opinions in an organized manner. Encouraging people to create debates about interesting things that they really care about, debates about personal decisions and self-promoting debates are welcome.
