Skeptical Software Tools

This site is dedicated to developing advanced tools and techniques for use by skeptics in fighting the battle against misinformation on the world wide web.  It originated with a presentation given at The Amazing Meeting 6 on June 22, 2008. We discuss techniques that you can use on your own web site, publish tools that you can use here, and otherwise try to advance the state of the art of skepticism on the web.
