About Us
What is Debate.com?
Debate.com is a membership-based online debating service designed to provide an easy and free system for our members to intellectually challenge, debate and communicate with each other on the Web. Members create their own unique profiles and our technology provides a "ratio of disagreement" with the other members based on the information that each member provides, making it easy to select an opponent or to build group of friends. Members can challenge existing members or invite anyone to come and debate them on a topic of their choice selected from a wide range of categories including Politics, Sports, the Arts and Entertainment. A formal debate is between two members, the instigator and contender; but every member can participate in the debate by posting comments and voting on the winner once the closing arguments are presented. Debate.com launched its 3rd generation in August of 2008 which includes a laundry list of new features including new voting technology, debate and member ranking, photo albums, messaging, advanced searching, YouTube video integration, demographic charting and a friends and networking system. Debate.com is evolutionary in nature and will continue to add new features to encourage further education, discussion and communication among the members.
History of Debate.com
The concept of Debate.com was founded by WebCorp, LLC in the summer of 2007. WebCorp owns several other web entities including NewCars.org, DontVote.org, and Dork.com, but Debate.com was created out of a special passion for politics and debate by the husband and wife owners. While many dinner table conversations are about sporting events or what happened that day at work and school, this couple's dinner time chatter typically focuses on current events in US and world politics and sometimes will stray to education and child rearing techniques. This is when the idle chatter typically becomes a full on debate. These debates are fun spirited but the competitive nature of the two caused them to wonder who would win the debate if argued in public. So they took it online! Because of their strong love for their country, they also believe everyone should take the initiative to seek out the truth and be educated on the political, economic and social issues that we are faced with every day. They also think there should be a place where everyone whether Liberal, Conservative, Christian, Atheist, American, Mexican, etc. can go to voice their opinions and to share ideas on any topic they choose. Open dialogue and honest debate are how great businesses ideas are created, how democracies were developed and continue to thrive, and how Debate.com came to life.
