Debating and deliberation tool

Debategraph is a truly fascinating new approach to visually representing and structuring debates about key issues in contemporary society. An interative, multi-layered 'mind map' type tool it also has similarities with a range of other resources online but is implemented in such a neat and elegant way that it is sure to be a valued and much-used resource by organisations and, from our particular perspective, students. ReTweeted from numerous sources....

Try it out in this example.

They also talk immediately afterwards about another interesting tool called Ushahidi for mapping reports (of conflict activity) onto Google Maps. You could also imagine using this for non-conflict event mapping too.
