What Opinion do you Want to Express?

 whereIstand.com is a social network on which you can express, share and compare opinions with friends, members, public figures and organizations.

whereIstand aggregates the opinions of public figures, organizations and members and organizes them into structured issues. An issue-based structure makes opinions searchable and comparable for any issue on which they have taken a stand.

 

Editorial Process

 The editorial process for approving issues is collaborative and driven by users of the site. Anyone can participate, through a.) proposing an issue or b.) participating in the approval process on an issue's discussion board.

 

Editorial guidelines are in place and are expected to be followed. Guidelines can be reviewed in the pop-up box that appears when you click the 'Propose An Issue' button. 

 

If you're a registered user and are interested in playing a role in this editorial process please email help@whereIstand.com.

 

About Public Figures and Organizations

Opinions and predictions of public figures are submitted by whereIstand members. Using information that is publicly-available on the internet, members post external links of a public figure's opinion on an issue. Before it is published as a verified opinion, other members review the evidence and vote to either approve or reject it.
