Doxory
Doxory (Do X or Y?) is a newish site that promotes "life by committee." You supply the questions ("Should I blog this link?") and the options (X: "Yes! People will find this interesting!" or Y: "No, it's irrelevant.")... and anyone else visiting the site can vote with the click of a button. And of course, while you're waiting for results on all your questions, big or small, you can vote on others' dilemmas.
I love this idea-- for entertainment. I really hope that people realize how much real contact is stripped away with the Internet-- consider the things you've probably said in an email that you'd never say to someone's face. So I get a little edgy when I see questions like "Should I move hundreds of miles away to be with him?" or "Should I apply for an internship or blow it off and watch Cops?" pop up. Everyone you're asking is plopped in front of their computer, eager to help you make your important life decisions while ignoring their own.
Of course I exaggerate, and my guess is that people know the answers to their questions before they post them on the site. Doxory is definitely worth exploration, just keep in mind that you're interacting with people like me.
