Conversations Lead to Debate Lead to Community
whereIstand.com is a new, user-driven Web 2.0 community and opinion aggregator that discovers, organizes and presents a wide variety of news, opinions, debates and issues discussed all over the Web using proprietary search technologies and a user-generated content model.
From a community journalism perspective, whereIstand.com takes a hybrid approach. When an issue is submitted, it is reviewed by editors on staff and by members of the community for accuracy. The news process on the site becomes collaborative — members become bloggers, editors and researchers who work together with site editors to present content and debate it.
In this respects WhereIStand will remain on my radar just as others, including Debatopedia and others (come back to this post for updates).
