UberSpat - Online Debating Community

UberSpat.com is a debating site that allows users to submit articles and blog posts, much like people do on Digg. This evidence can be submitted in support or in opposition to a debate. This evidence is then rated by users. The best of the evidence floats to the top, thus allowing users to research topics, much like they do on Wiki. Essentially, this site is a Digg and Wiki mashup where users can debate and or research topics such as terrorism or global warming. The site allows the user to get the inner debater out of their system. As you get more familiarized with the site, you’ll start to become better at making a point quicker. The better you get at debating, the more popular your debates will become on the site. To keep up with the latest happenings on the site, check out the UberSpat blog. Keep coming back to the site, as you will find new topics always available for you to debate on.

"UberSpat is a unique internet site that provides the world with a place to debate the most controversial topics of the day. UberSpat encourages users to list topics, provide supporting or opposing evidence and rate the usefulness of the evidence for a particular side of the debate."

The evidence rating system of UberSpat makes this a killer website. It allows the wisdom of crowds to determine what the very best evidence on both sides of any debate, and why that evidence should be read. This ultimately makes the site an excellent research tool. Lastly, the site makes for a great place to submit links to your blog as evidence to a debate. That helps promote blogs, and could distinguish the user as a very knowledgeable person on any particular debate topic.

While the wisdom of crowds is a great way to measure if something is popular, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll determine who is right in an argument.
