Standpoint

“Standpoint (Standpoint.com)”:http://www.standpoint.com/ is a place where you can build and organize a list of things you believe, and find others who share your point of view. You build a profile page by adding the things you believe to it or by taking a stand on claims created by others. If you want, you can add reasons and links to your beliefs to help others decide if it is something they believe too. We believe that sharing your beliefs is a powerful way to both make yourself heard and find new and interesting people.

With time Standpoint becomes a collaborative encyclopedia of opinion–a database of resources from across the web collectively organized (tagged) by belief. You can go to Standpoint to learn about any claim or belief in the world by looking at the reasons and evidence that others have given.
