Here is an example of a decision matrix. It allows a customized answer to the question: which Blog-System should I use? You see the different options that I considered in the header of the table (Wordpress vs. Blogger) and the criteria in the first left column. The decision matrix was created via Dezidr.com, which allows to embed it into any web-page.

Decisions get better when they are exchanged and discussed with friends. Therefore, dezidr.com now allows you to

• Create polls to let friends give their feedback on your decision
• Give you an overview of the aggregated feedback of your friends
• Allow you to embed your decisions or your polls in your own web-page

Some major improvements in the user interface should also help you to make your decisions more easily than ever.  Be rational and have fun!

Dezidr has got a little sister. Her name is Somsimil and she is safely embedded in the Facebook platform. If you are a Facebook user, you might want to have a look at her here.

Somsimil allows you to ask your friends for alternatives to something you already know and the relevant criteria to pay attention to. Like its older brother, it wants to help you to make better decisions. Have fun!
