Like Blogs, Wikis and other online content management tools, 13myths.org is trying to make dealing with information more efficient, and very much faster. Their objective is to build a rebuttal tool for distributed processing of political knowledge. The idea being to systematise the existing chewing process that is afflicting those who have been used to the inertia of the media business providing the first mover of a statement with about 48 hours advantage over the rebuttal. By the time the response comes, it is no longer news and gets buried in the inside pages, even if the original statement is a barefaced lie. That process is being undermined by the Internet in general, now these guys are trying to create a tool to use the distributed knowledge of communities to create fast, clear, rebuttals through an iterative process that acts fast, getting the rebuttal to the media in time to be published alongside the original statement.
