UberSpat: Debateable

by David Heyerman on September 11, 2008

  • UberSpat provides a user-friendly platform for people to debate over whichever topic they choose.
  • Users are able to provide evidence to support their sides, while the community rates debates on their level of legitimacy.
  • In turn, the most engaging debates rise to the top of the front page.
  • If UberSpat continue to drive traffic and build a passionate user-base, this site could become somewhat of a Digg for debates; providing a hub for people interested in both sides of the picture.

Is the site’s name appropriate for the service provided?

Net Neutrality Battles Explained

by Jason Wilk on September 1, 2008

  • Net Neutrality deals with setting regulations for broadband providers over their ability to block certain internet applications, content providers (e.g. websites, services, competitors, protocols), and heavy bandwidth users.
  • The possibility of such regulations has been subject to fierce debate.
  • People opposing net neutrality rules say it reduces incentives for telecom companies to improve their offerings and invest shrunken profits into future network technologies.
  • Comcast made a bold move this week to regulate the gateway by punishing heavy downloaders. They are already facing lawsuits over illegal bandwidth throttling and do not support neutrality.
  • Google, an advocate of neutrality, has been a force in the argument, especially this past year when a big decision to launch their mobile business depended on the net neutrality of broadband carriers to not block their apps or OS.

What do you think of the net neutrality?
