CreateDebate – Where You Can Debate Without Qualms

The beauty of the web is its democratism. Anyone given a computer can profess their views and expound upon the themes that really matter to them. CreateDebate is a new site devoted to, well, debate of course. It gives everyone their very own soap box. You can express your ideas and views and expect to be contested. It’s like high school debate, only on the web, and your fellow debaters may be a little bit more well versed in their subjects. Or not. Most of the debates on site take the form of either or, for example Shoutwire or Digg, and Hot Model or actress.

Streamzy – Streaming Music Search Engine

Streamzy.com is a very fast and easy to use search engine that searches for music that can be streamed directly in your web browser making it unnecessary to download anything. They also claim to be working on some additional functionality that will allow users to also search for and stream videos in the near future. A quick test of the site proved that it is very fast, easy to use, and gives an impressive number of results for a wide variety of music.
