Ask HN: Worldwide Web Court of Public Opinion
Now consider the potential to take ALL online Court of Public Opinion activity away from numerous forums, blogs and websites and instead create a website/webapp that will become THE Worldwide Web Court of Public Opinion (WWWCPO). It could be an aggregator AND/OR also be THE place to post issues - like those Schneier points to, and like people post on blogs, FB, Twitter and Reddit everyday.
You post your issue and watch a two column FOR/AGAINST or PRO/CON list that constantly scrolls updates like Pinterest or Twitter feeds - instead of a boring list of comments that you have to scroll through. Additionally, comments could be collated based on key words or key phrases so that, for example, "Me too" type comments are all dumped together because they didn't meet a certain threshold for number of words or input or whatever . . .
So here I am in the WWWCPO on HN. I would appreciate any and all comments about this as a possible startup.
