Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The concept of Opiniopedia, as first envisioned by Roy Sherfan in 2006, is an attempt to provide the end user with a more efficient experience in the study, information input and contribution output of large-scale discussions over the Internet. Detailed discussion with many sub-points will usually require the conversation to branch off into many tangents and then resume the main point of discussion after the sub-points have been discussed. The conventional forum software with its one-post-after-another approach could handle the preliminary stages of serious discussion, but after that arose several key factors that limited its usefulness and practicality. When the debates escalated in complexity, the conventional forum format became cumbersome. Information relevant to all areas of discussion were not conveniently accessible. Arguments for and against were usually scattered in various parts of the thread as they often were contributed at different times - and thus - due to the nature of the chronological order of posts in the conventional forum, were not grouped together for easy reference and opportunities for users to contrast and juxtapose such references.
