The exhilaration you get from a great debate!

I love to debate so I figured what better way to start some tongues wagging then a blog. However the problem with a blog is that people can only leave a comment and the debate gets a little convoluted because you can't tell who's on what side. Solution? Hey MonkeyBrain!

Hey MonkeyBrain! was created by the fabulous people at Squidoo to provide a really awesome place to debate. The interface allows you to start a duel with both sides of the argument running neck-and-neck. As if that wasn't cool enough you can also create a "Links List Plexo" to support or disprove your claim and have people add new links to the list!

But wait there's more...I feel like Bob Barker. Hey MonkeyBrain! also allows you to add YouTube Videos, Flickr Photos, Polls, Sell Products (you get cash or you can donate to charity), other Squidoo lenses...the possibilities are endless.

Integrating Hey MonkeyBrain! with your blog is like adding hot fudge to your vanilla ice cream. It's making something great even greater. It's exhilarating...Cowabunga!

So enjoy these Hey MonkeyBrain! debates...I love a good argument. Let me know what you think then go create your own!

Very creative, great ideas

samej says:

A good idea but the implementation needs a little more work.
The end product is good but confusing when the only content retained when you take ownership of a lens is the introduction whilst the links are lost.
Also, why do you get the standard lens when editing?
A couple of times I tried this and thought it was broken until I hit publish and saw it then used the Monkeybrain template.

Fantastic! I love how the Squid Team keeps coming up with new ideas. :)

Uh...No.

Great lens idea, 5 stars. Just lensrolled you to my first MonkeyBrain debate, Exposing Our Secretocracy, which I added to your lens list too.

Woohoo for the children of the 80's and thanks a bunch for featuring my very serious debate on Cowabunga! By the way, my husband would also look terrible in eyeliner, lol.

Hi, I was wondering if you could feature my Squidoo vs Hubpages debate on your blog, it has been getting some good feedback lately with even the Hubpages Community Manager joining in the debate, thx again.
