We distilled the Debate Dashboard features by building on results of a literature review on thirty Web 2.0 tools for data visualization. We focused on those one already implemented and in use in real online communities.

We analyzed each of them to understand what are their key features, how they work, what kind of feedback they provide.

As main criteria for the selection of the visualization tools, we considered:

i. the number of feedback that each of them provides, in order to reduce the number of used visualization tools;

ii. the combination of feedback, in order to provide all individualized ones.
