What the hell is a “swicki” on prediction markets?
Chris F. Masse November 4th, 2006
Sounds like a “swicki” is a search engine restricted to a specific area of interest. Bizarre that they call it with a name close to “wiki”, as in “Wikipedia“, which is not a search engine but an encyclopedia. I expected more wisdom from Internet usability expert Alex Kirtland, who provided great inklings in the e-mail interview posted on this group blog last month.

This swicki will help you find prediction market related information on the web.
Reminder: George Tziralis (who recently reviewed all the prediction market papers) has set up a Google sub-search engine for the prediction markets.
Hint: Our good doctor David Pennock (whose insightful prediction market blog is far less popular than our group blog Midas Oracle, in all logic) is widely rumored to be hatching something of the same kind using Yahoo! Search Builder.
