There are three sides to every story. Well, to be truthful there are probably a lot more, but three is still two more than most of us are exposed to. That’s the premise behind Perspecs, a new app that attempts to present news stories from several different perspectives.

When you download the app, you are presented with important questions of the day, together with three differing views taken from newspapers around the world. These include neutral, left wing and right wing political perspectives, or even  three predictions on the outcome of a sports fixture. The idea is to allow readers to make up their own minds after hearing all the arguments, rather than  being fed  just one point of view.

I mention it because it’s a useful app, but also as a mental springboard. Are there other niches in which you can combine different views on an issue, problem or event to create a successful website or app?
