I like this - aMap is a new service, allowing you to create an embeddable widget for arguing with others on any topic you like.

How does it work? You state a problem/question and your opinion/answer. The system then allows you to support your opinion by ‘arms’ formed by main and supportive arguments. The outcome is a mindmap, wrapped in a pretty good-looking, embeddable (flash) widget you can post anywhere on the Web. Others then can use this widget to argue with you in a structured manner.

The service was created by Delib which is supposed to be an Online Opinion Research and Public Consultation company and a part of the Team Rubber. I am just wondering what they do with all the (structured) data they collect, apart from printing aMap books.

Check out my first aMap below. I have chosen a bit more serious topic (content) as a contrast to the cartoonish L&F of the widget (form). Of course I hope I am wrong…

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Johnny Lee’s excellent whiteboard video for the first time. Today, I got a link to something else, which raises a bar scales higher. Johnny Lee obviously got much further in his ‘Making Wii the next generation VR platform’ efforts and is now showing us, how we can get more space in our living rooms.
