The Waterfall
We’re happy to introduce another cool new feature: The Waterfall. The Waterfall gives you an easy way to find the newest arguments that have just been posted to CreateDebate, looking across every debate. We think you’ll find The Waterfall to be a great all-purpose landing page since it serves up all of the newest content on a silver platter. We have also whipped up a new RSS feed that can deliver The Waterfall directly to your favorite reader. For more information about the RSS feed you can read this.
Keep sending us your feedback! What do you think of The Waterfall?
This is nice. The only thing I can think to add would be replacing the uniform ‘Jump to Debate→’ link with the title of debate.

Hey it’s great, though an obvious improvement would be to have some kind of tagging to know which debate the comment belongs to. You should also waterfall all the latest debates too.

Yeah, needs the title of the debate, without context it can be kind of a weird read
otherwise, it’s great! I love the background, scrolls kinda weird though (ff3)
I didn’t realize this site ran on wordpress. Nice modding!

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. A few quick responses:
1 - If you hover your mouse for a second over the “Jump to Debate” link a tooltip will appear that shows you the title of the debate.
2 - When you are browsing debates, you’ll see a link on the right side that says “Most Recent”. In effect, this link is the waterfall of the newest debates. An RSS feed is available, as well.
3 - Our blog is wordpress, the rest of the site is not.
