I was going to write one of those cheesy here’s what I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving, but geekify it a bit and write about what techy things I’m thankful for. But I’m not going to.
Instead, I think I’ll be thankful for free speech, with a little web 2.0 goodness mixed in. I’m talking about Standpoint, a website that allows you express your beliefs in a number of different ways.
You can state whether or not you agree with a variety of beliefs that other have submitted, or you could also submit your own custom beliefs, and people can comment, agree, disagree with what you said.
Its a pretty interesting concept, with the beliefs ranging from “Morality is not strictly religious- many atheists have very exacting moralities” to “Firefox is better than Internet Explorer” to “Ninja pirates are superior to everything.”
I think this site is perfect for days like today, when you’ve got nothing to do, and want to learn something / argue with someone / be heard / etc. Either way, check out the Standpoint, you might just like it. Happy Thanksgiving.
