ChilledLime: A Twitter for Opinions

I really don't like sites that don't let me register emails like foo+chilledlime@gmail.com

Socialized flamewars. It's sorta awesome, in an oil tanker alight in flames coming to port sort-of-way.

I feel like this is a great learning project, but that there really isn't a niche for this kind of opining that hasn't already been filled by Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, etc.

But go ahead and prove me wrong!

On the site itself: You do a good job of explaining how to use everything, but the layout is really complex, and I don't think most users will be engaged enough to try and learn it all before being able to use the thing.

No disrespect to you, but I'm gonna have to go with Seeless on this one. I don't see any added value to what already exists. There's really no friction to finding topic-driven conversations on Twitter. If you want to jump into a topic just search for relevant hashtags.

I applaud the effort, but I think this is an example of fixing a problem that doesn't exist. Keep trying though!

I have a hard time finding opinions on Twitter, so I'm glad someone made a dedicated site for it.

Are there no opinions on Twitter?

It seems, like this is the same idea that "Amen" had a few years ago: https://getamen.com/

To me this feels, like i am filling out forms with informations about my opionions, so someone can sell it (even better than twitter-like "plain text") to advertisers.

If i want to know, what my friends are thinking about product XYZ, i do exactly one thing: i ask them.

I don't want to hate on the idea, but to me it seems kinda useless.

You should be aware that there was a site like this in 2006 called Standpoint, partly by Gentry Underwood of Mailbox. It also allowed for structural replies and disagreements. References were also included which would point to web articles or books on Amazon, etc. They never developed a proper business model and shut it down after a year. Personally, I wanted to transform/replace blog commenting with this, but it was too big an endeavor to see through.

I've seen this idea played out to its logical conclusion with a site a few years back. What happened was essentially what you see on local news websites: A small, bitchy community was created and provided no value to anyone. I'm sure there are ways to mitigate that behavior with smarter design and administration, so better luck to these guys.

(founder here) Thanks for posting `sehrattracktive`. Funny name btw..

I also want to thank everyone who checked it out and gave some thoughts on it.

Here are some invites for you guys: http://chilledlime.com/url/e.php?inv=80505e

It looks like you can upvote/downvote other's opinions. Is this being counted towards the totals? Because now you're testing how many people are willing to go through the "Supports", and upvote the ones they agree with, downvote the ones they don't

Looks similar to Slant (http://www.slant.co/) but with more editorialising.

You need to differentiate yourself.

Your competition is versus.com and state.com.

Isn't twitter a twitter for opinions?
