Noah Kagan's Entrepreneur27 event brought together some mildly innovative startups last week (Scoble and Mike have the full roundup). Among them was Standpoint, a site for sharing your beliefs which borrows heavily (too heavily?) from the 43things concept. The business model appears to be Amazon affiliate links - members can express their opinions on "influential books" and proceed to Amazon to make a purchase. Mike writes:
Standpoint, which launched today, is a “wikipedia of opinions”. At its core it is a simple blog for users to post their opinions and links to websites that help them form or support those opinions. Topics are grouped and the aggregate opinion of the community on any topic can be gauged. Co-founder Justin Smith presented. Gentry Underwood is Standpoint’s other founder.
