What it does

whereIstand grasps an interesting concept: amassing the opinions of various politicos, movie stars, socialites—basically anyone famous and fabulous—on different topics. If you’re unclear where to stand on the alternative minimum tax, for example, check out the yays and nays of the opinion from the likes of Max Baucus and Mike Enzi. Hear both sides of the story and form your own opinion. Once registered, you can start a topic of your choice covering all matters from politics to entertainment to children of bad movies. Your opinion counts too-- you can search and comment on all topics and opinions. whereIstand is available in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Russian. More languages are planned. So get your opinion out there. It’s free.
