Politikia.com - Get Political

Politikia, as you may have guessed, deals in politics. It’s a site for the times. So if you’ve got an opinion on Obama, Clinton, gay marriage, the Iraq war, mosey down over to Politikia. It’s a forum for discussion, articles and political discourse. It’s part wiki, part social networking, but with a slightly more democratic approach. All motions to change or add information have to go before the community at large who votes for or against the change. For example, take the Iraq war. All the positions are listed: stay the course, or withdraw the troops. You can see the major candidates’ view, add your own opinion and discuss. Simply join. The account is free.

“Because this isn't an plain old website with out of date information that maintained by the webmasters. Nor is it a free-for-all wiki, where anyone can update any information on a whim. Instead, we take a democratic apporach to managing our information. Anyone can submit motions to add or change things on the site, then the rest of the community can vote on whether or not the change is beneficial. If it passes, then it becomes a part of the website.”

Politikia is a good site to learn about the important political issues out there now. It’s great for those who want to discuss politics, or who want to learn more about the key issues.

What does Politikia have that makes it better than other politically oriented websites? It doesn’t have the networking options like other sites. Will it succeed?
