‘Hey Monkeybrain!’ assists aggregated arguments

‘Hey Monkeybrain!’ is an extension of Squidoo, a site that lets users collect content on a particular topic from all around the web in one place.  We’re not particularly enamoured with Squidoo itself (to put it politely) but, having first seen it yesterday, I think ‘Hey Monkeybrain!’ looks far simpler, cleaner and with a stronger proposition.  The idea is that you set up two opposing ideas, collect the supporting material for each and then let the people decide.  The application to e-democracy is pretty easy to see and I was going to raise the questions of the usefulness of this model/tool… but Ross Ferguson has pretty much beaten me to it, so have a read of his blog on the subject!
