Debategraph wins re *collective* optimizing of description of an idea
Debategraph wins re *collective* optimizing of description of an idea☜It seems that Opinion Space doesnt try to help users collectively polish the description of an idea or of an argument. Not clear how you can respond to someone elses argument (other than including this response in your own answer to the question).☜9FDDBE

Opinion Space wins at *simplicity* of the interface
Opinion Space wins at *simplicity* of the interface☜No menu, no fancy views. The only possible actions are browsing+rating other peoples answers (youre guided by the sizes of the dots and their relative position in the 2-dimensional opinion space) and - I suppose - polishing your own answer.☜9FDDBE
□
The Debategraph visualisation seems more meaningful
The Debategraph visualisation seems more meaningful☜From what Ive seen so far (but I havent seen much yet), the Opinion Space interface shows a 2-dimensional map with dots, that represent ideas. These dots have different sizes (probably proportional to the ideas global rating). Distance between dots probably brings together like-minded people.☜9FDDBE
