A site for those who are a bit on the feisty side, Argumentum uses argumentation theory and common sense to provide a platform for online discussion and debate.

Argumentum has been devised around certain concepts in informal logic, particularly argument mapping.

The basis of everything is what we know as propositions, single statements which can be opposed or supported. Users need not have a thorough grasp of argumentation theory to engage in stimulating debate, as the system is completely intuitive. Argumentum superficially appears similar to more standard online discussion mediums - the user is not asked to independently break down their thoughts into premises, rebuttals, and so on.

This way, the user is able to attack individual points in a particular argument, rather than entire posts all at once. This aims to prevent the chaos and disorder normally observed in other mediums while maintaining the communicative flow and passion which are their hallmark. Nice approach. Do you think it will work out in practice? Visit the site and make your case in there.

“Are you convinced that your views, on matters ludicrously frivolous and gravely serious, are morally superior and logically flawless in comparison to your friends and enemies? Argumentum is the place to prove to the world what you already knew… that you're always right and they're all wrong.”

In addition to the dynamic described above, argumentum is integrated with Twitter, Facebook, Blogger and e-mail. This means that new users do not have to significantly change their habits to take advantage of the benefits offered by argument structuring.
