Abstract: A computing device and computer-implemented method of facilitating a debate includes a user choosing a topic that he/she wishes to debate and inviting a second user to the debate. The users also agree on which of the opposite positions on the topic each wishes to represent. Each debate round will begin with a user providing a first communication. The other user can be notified of the first communication and be given an opportunity to respond. The users then are permitted to take turns and comment back-and-forth, where the number of back-and-forth communications (rounds) can be limited in number. The length of each communication can also or alternatively be character or word limited to ensure concise comments. Each of the users can be permitted to enter a final summary or summation of the debate, which can have a longer character/word limit than the typical communications.
