A new site announced their launch today.  According to the press release, UberSpat.com is “a debating site that allows users to submit articles and blog posts, much like people do on Digg.  This evidence can be submitted in support or in opposition to a debate.  This evidence is then rated by users.”  Based on the user-ratings the evidence will either float to the top or be buried underneath.

It is an interesting approach to collaborative debating.  One thing I like about the methodology is that it should provide some interesting insight to the types of content that is considered supportive of one side of an argument against another.  UberSpat should consider categorizing evidence ‘types’ and then offering a real-time analysis of what are the types of evidence that are normally considered more legitimate than others.
