AMELIA ISLAND, Fla., Feb. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --What do you get when you cross a 72-year-old right-winger with a 27-year-old liberal? WaddYaThink.com (http://www.waddyathink.com), a provocative new site that's starting debates, encouraging free thought and raising eyebrows.
WaddYaThink.com is based on the premise that everyone has an opinion, and plenty of people want to share them. The site, just launched, is a clearinghouse of questions, such as, "Should the U.S. build a fence between the U.S. and Mexico border?" and "Will we have a new president in 2012?" No subject is off limits and each question asked -- and debated and answered -- by members is a chance to find out what people really think.
Co-founders George Ruch and Jason Foote hit upon the idea for WaddYaThink.com in the midst of a spirited debate. If they, being on opposite ends of the political spectrum, could enjoy discussing ideas and sharing opposing viewpoints intelligently, maybe others would, too.
"There's a joke that goes, 'How do you start an argument online? State your opinion and wait,'" said Foote. "That's exactly what we want people to do at WaddYaThink.com, only instead of pointlessly arguing, we encourage them to engage in thoughtful debate."
Each WaddYaThink.com question, or forum topic, can be posted with or without a poll. Once a question is asked, WaddYaThink.com members can reply to the post with their own opinions and observations, stimulating healthy debates and creating an environment that welcomes independent thought.
WaddYaThink.com keeps the newest topics at the top of the board, followed by the most popular topics. Visitors and members alike can read the topics and see poll results in real time, but only members may ask their own questions, vote in polls or comment on other questions.
Membership is free at WaddYaThink.com. While most users are individuals interested in opinions on topics like politics, entertainment, sports, culture and current events, the site could prove invaluable for companies that want to hear consumer opinions.
"The Internet has always been a place where people are not afraid to state their opinions," stated Ruch. "But opinions that differ from those of the majority, or opinions that are strongly stated, can cause problems on many sites. WaddYaThink.com welcomes thinkers. We want to hear people's opinions, we want to hear new ideas, and we want to stimulate more thought."
