Nigel Eccles (HudBud CEO – Previously with McKinsey, Betdaq, and BetFair-Flutter)
HubDub is developing a web application which will change the way people discover, track and interact with news stories.
His startup: HubDub – (What they are brewing: a news aggregator using some kind of prediction market mechanism.)
What we are developing is a social news aggregation site. Elements of it are similar to Digg but as a whole it is a totally unique concept (partially based on experience developing betting exchanges). The site will provide a whole new way of interacting with news and the site in turn generates its own news out of user interactions. Initially the site will be US focussed as it is the bigger market. The primary revenue stream would be advertising however there are a number of other very significant revenue opportunities once the site reaches some scale.
And, yes, they do have a blog.
