State Department Launches Opinion Space

And, trying hard to be Web 2.0, Opinion Space involves both user generated content and mapping. Visitors are asked to use a slider to indicate if they agree or not and how strongly to five statements. Their “position” on each is mapping against responses for others, ideally from around the world. There’s also a request for input and a way to vote, “Digg style” on others responses. The first question, basically: If you met Secretary Clinton, what would you tell her?

The site, which uses Flash, was built in collaboration with Berkeley’s Center for New Media.
