30 Duel Modules We Love

Ranked #3,164 in Squidoo Community, #256,902 overall | Donates to Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue of NorCal

Debate on!

Not only is the Duel Debate Module one of the most popular on Squidoo, it's also one of the most fun. Squaring off on a topic is a really effective way to get the attention of your audience. People really do want to know what other people think about hairy men, If we should ban smoking and if cupcakes make a good breakfast. It's human nature to debate a subject.

On this Monster Board we picked 30 lenses that use the Duel Debate Module in really creative ways. Some are Hey MonkeyBrain lenses that use a special template to help you set up a debate lens. Other lenses use the module to review products like the Nook vs. the Kindle or to enhance their lens like: How do you feel about handmade Christmas ornaments?

With an added bonus: Did you know that every time someone posts in your Duel Debate Module, they have a chance to challenge one of their friends to join the debate? Adding the Duel Debate Module to any lens is a super smart way to allow your reader to participate -- and even spread the word for you.

Mickie_G says:

I have used the Duel module on several lenses including a few MonkeyBrains. I must not be doing a great job phrasing questions because I do not get many responses.

cgjones says:

I'm gonna step into the ring and give it a go!

manlalakbay says:

Yeah I used it in one of my lenses. But I can't get the hang of it as of now. Maybe, I will try to use it in my future lenses. Cheers! :)

jvsper63 says:

No. If I get mixed up on a debate lens. Especially something I really believe in . It won't be pretty. lol and I am laughing out loud:)

No, I'm no good at debates.

    I found this because I was looking for info on people using this and now think that it is a very good idea

    I'm seriously leaning towards the "Jump Rope Songs, Rhymes and Chants," although the others are certainly calling my name. I'm anxious to view them all.

    I have only used the Duel module once. I have to get used to using it though.

    Some great lenses. I like the funny one's. Nicely done. Joni

    The best, in my opinion, was the gun control debate. Lots of info, intriguing and controversial. Debates don't get any better.

    I want to build a duel/dueling lens and this has been a good learning experience.

    Congratulations, great Duelers!

    I've always loved the Guyliner lens because the topic is just so different from any I would have thought of, but these are all terrific examples. Thanks for including mine in such great company!
  • SereneSea Jan 12, 2011 @ 8:10 am | delete
    Congrats to ALL and I will take time to visit these lenses.

    Congrats to those featured and thanks for choosing my "coffee or tea" debate module!
  • Waxing-Lyrical Jan 12, 2011 @ 7:17 am | delete
    Great selection of duels and debates. Congrats to everyone featured here :)
  • Norma_Budden Jan 12, 2011 @ 1:01 am | delete
    I thought you might select the "Guns Lower Crime" lens. It certainly makes for a controversial topic.
  • happynutritionist Jan 11, 2011 @ 11:22 pm | delete
    Nice selection...saving to check out each one tomorrow...thanks for including one of mine.
  • sheilamarie Jan 11, 2011 @ 9:20 pm | delete
    I had to read over your 30 lenses twice before I noticed my jump-rope-songs lens was among them! Thanks for including it! I have to read through them all before I could say which lens is my favorite. I've noticed several among them that I've enjoyed reading previously. Those are surely winners!
  • tssfacts Jan 11, 2011 @ 5:35 pm | delete
    What a collection! I see that I have only missed a couple of these and look forward to reading them and adding my two cents worth. Thank you for including one of my Monkey Brains in the group. I am among great company.
  • ohcaroline Jan 11, 2011 @ 5:29 pm | delete
    These are all great subjects. Congratulations to everyone!
  • ElleDeeEsse Jan 11, 2011 @ 1:57 pm | delete
    All great examples and honoured to be among them. Thanks
  • MissMerFaery Jan 11, 2011 @ 1:51 pm | delete
    Excellent selection! Look forward to reading the ones I haven't seen before. Thank you for including one of mine!
  • capriliz Jan 11, 2011 @ 1:34 pm | delete
    I have missed some of the lenses, so it is great to have a collection here to visit. I am so glad Nan's was included. Love that controversy! Thanks for including two of my lenses that use the Duel Debate Module. Now off to learn more from the other lenses you have included!
  • NanLT Jan 11, 2011 @ 12:23 pm | delete
    Thank you for featuring one of my lenses here. I find that the duel lens is just the thing to generate discussion, especially when you are presenting a somewhat controversial subject - like whether chilli should contain ground meat or diced steak.
  • BuckHawk Jan 11, 2011 @ 12:14 pm | delete
    There are only a few on the list that I haven't yet added my voice to one side or the other, so I'm happy that I can find those right here! Plus, wow! Thanks for including my lens, too!
