On Slantly, you’ll find every single opinion is an unique opinion submitted by the users. Users are allowed to vote “Agree” or “Disagree” and the simple user interface minimize barriers for users to make a compelling argument. However, there is a rule on Slantly which require its users to vote first before they type in any argument to submit their votes. It’s true, if you can’t agree on a statement, vote “Disagree” first before you explain why you vote so. Besides, rather than call it an opinion, the look and feel of the opinion is indeed a poll and Slantly enables its users to embed these opinions into Web pages or blogs. Also, Slantly offer a statistical data in which users are aware of the votes by location, this is one area which I find it is a vital factor to build an active community. Users want their opinions to be shared on Slantly, whenever feedback received, they do expect they know which region their feedback is coming from. In other words, all votes and arguments will be sorted out by Slantly and thus users are able to view sentiment by geographical location.

Like any other Web platform, Slantly organize all the opinions based on categories. Users can find, vote, or engage with the debates through opinions that they like in different category such as News, Politics, Celebrity, and etc. Furthermore, users can also find what topics currently are popular in Slantly, what are the recent opinions, which opinions are the controversial, or find opinions based on time/date of posting. For opinion publishers, there will be given a publisher dashboard for them to moderate and manage discussions, opinions customization, and etc editorial tools.

Nevertheless, all the opinions created by users at this moment are about the current news and issues, not the passing whim of the users.
