whereIstand.com is a Web 2.0, social networking community that lets members define who they are by their opinions. Members can compare themselves with people in their network, or with people they are considering adding to their network.
…whereIstand does exactly what many Internet users crave - it aggregates, sorts and delivers analysis with little effort.
- Journalism blogger, Amy Webb
Promote Your Blog
*Accounts created for the purpose of promoting products or services instead of opinions will be deleted without notice.
whereIstand is a user-driven community of opinions on every issue in every language. Users can take stands, propose new issues for discussion, post evidence of opinions by public figures, or compare their stands to others.
whereIstand offers bloggers a unique opportunity to promote their content and target new readers. For instance, this member linked his blog to whereIstand content, analyzing the opinions of sportswriters and bloggers and found that ESPN experts were less accurate than bloggers on MLB predictive issues. We helped him promote his findings, which eventually got his blog linked on Salon, CNNSI and WSJ.com.
