David of Debategraph has dissected the G20 communique, using his Debategraph application.

Quite a brilliant idea, Debategraph. It does everything that a pro-democracy technology should do – it enables a wide range of people to rationalise a problem. Once that’s done, elected politicians can make and explain their decisions – not in terms of interests bought off / betrayed, but as a decision made as a result of a series of trade-offs.

Debategraph makes us all ‘eavesdropable.’ Its worth a million consultations, petitions and ‘have your say’ exercises. Crowdsourcing opinion is as easy as crowdsourcing idiocy, and barely more valuable. Crowdsourcing judgment – and this is what Debategraph does – is invaluable.

Oh, have I said? I really really like Debategraph….
