I complained when they disappeared, so it is only appropriate that I draw attention to the return of the Inkling forums. The forums are a useful resource for all the Inkling do-it-yourselfers tinkering in the world of prediction markets.
Here is a link to Adam Siegel’s announcement about the return of the forums on the Inkling Markets blog.
Adam also reports that the Inkling Markets pilot program has been “successful so far”:
we’ve had 20 [*] new marketplaces created. They seem to be a mix of a few large companies, a few smaller companies, a few academics, and one person trying to change the world.
(Inkling’s pilot program was previously announced here at Midas Oracle. The link in the block quote — to Caveat Bettor’s global warming market — is in the original post. )
[*] Editor’s Update: Now 60 marketplaces.
Thanks for blogging about that. When I saw the two Inkling posts, I thought about blogging about them later, but you hit the keyboard faster.
Yes, it’s good that a series of posts on Midas Oracle about the new Inkling offering generates a flux of 20 prospects. BLOG POWER.

Startups and other industry players, and sholars as well, should use more Midas Oracle.
