While we still mourn the loss of Predictify, we are happy to announce a new form of Prediction Market: PreTweeting.com.
Most of our readers will be familiar with, if not users of, Twitter. Many of our readers will also be itching to find new Prediction Markets to invest with (well, that might just be us). So why not try Pretweeting.com?
Of course, we should specify that no real money seems to be involved. Also, the predictions deal with the number of occurrences of certain words. While we won’t discount this off-hand, we find it hard to see any scientific utility in the knowledge of these trending words (already available, by the way, as trending topics on the Twitter website). Business, on the other hand (and depending on the type of business), might benefit by keeping up with the real-time popularity of certain terms, or testing out the popularity of certain campaigns. Let’s see how this pans out.
As a nice segue, we would also like to remind our readers you can follow our Dumbagent Twitter account @dumbagent, as well as our Current Events Twitter account @DACurrentEvents.
