I just wanted to give you heads up on a great site that launched to beta a few days ago - AllRise.com
From AllRise official blog:
"We are proud to announce the official launch of AllRise.com, an online community court house, for the people and by the people.
You can be the prosecutor, the defendant or the jury. As prosecutor, you can open a case on behalf of yourself, someone else or on behalf of “the people”. You can sue anyone, your boss, your wife, the mayor, an insurance company or even the weather…
The verdict in the AllRise court room is given by the community members.
The AllRise Court enables you to:
- Submit an argument for either the defense or the prosecution
- Vote the defendant “guilty” or “not guilty”
- Filter discussions using parameters of controversy and influence
- Filter discussions between individuals
- Object to the arguments of other courtroom participants
- Strengthen and support the arguments of others
- Embed the entire case in your own blog or web site (including the voting and debating system).
The ground rules require that each case end after 7 trial days, unless “the jury” did not reach a verdict. However, once the trial is over and the case closed, a verdict is presented followed by a summary of who were most influential or controversial personalities in the proceedings, together with the cases highlights and other interesting statistics that demonstrate how in effect, the verdict was actually reached.
To get the feel of AllRise, open your own case or join in to one of the existing cases.
We hope you will enjoy the site and use it wisely; we will be happy to receive any feedback or suggestions regarding AllRise.
AllRise .com is a bootstrap startup, created by a team of 5 friendly people who spent a year and a half of very long nights and weekends developing the Court of the Internet ".
The site is still running on semi stealth mode due to the fact they just came out to the beta version, and there are still a few bugs (Beta or not).
So go and visit AllRise.com (Follow them on Twitter or Facebook)
