MatterMeter
“If ___ no longer existed, would it matter?” – what a great, philisophical question. MatterMeter asks its users to justify why on earth they feel or think why what they like is significant. Though it seems like a harmless question, this gets into the beliefs structure of people and their purchases.
It’s been a long time since I’ve reviewed a site that actually has sociological and philisophical roots dug into its foundation, so I’m a little extactic about stumbling across this site. MatterMeter has more depth than “What are you doing?” and a hell of a lot more substance than just “How are you feeling?”. If you get into the site, and post what you really feel should or shouldn’t exist – chances are you’re challenging your beliefs!
Crazy.
So the user-base needs to be Internet-couragious, but otherwise its a solid idea for a site. Features:
- MatterBoard, check out the latest posted threads
- Voting, simple: Yes or No, but also asks you “Why”.
- Followers/Followings
Simple enough site, but big potential to stir up some good discussions. Just need to get more people on it, and pray to god that /b’s keep their trolling mits off the site, but hey! This is the Internets, anythings possible.
I love me a good debate!
