• receive, via the communication circuitry, content from multiple users relating to a particular topic;
• determine, for the content from each respective user, an orientation value reflecting a sentiment of the content;
• storing, in the storage, the content from the multiple users in association with the orientation values;
• and
• in response to receiving a request for information about the particular topic, generate a visual map reflecting the orientation values associated with the content from the multiple users.

An information assessment system, comprising:

• an input device;
• a display;
• a storage;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to control the content submission system to at least:
• receive content input via the input device, the content relating to a particular topic;
• display, on the display, in response to input to the input device, a preview of a content submission based on the input content, the content preview including an orientation value reflecting a sentiment of the input content;
• store, in the storage, the content submission.
