All the prediction market webpages of all the (real-money or play-money) prediction exchanges should be indexed forever by the search engines (e.g., Google) —just like HudDub’s ones are.

NewsFutures’ prediction market webpages aren’t. The “Michigan Florida NewsFutures” query should have landed me on their prediction market webpage about whether “some delegates from FL or MI will be seated at the Democratic Convention.“

Alas, NewsFutures does not maintain webpages about expired contracts:

Actually, the “market specified” did exist —but Emile and his team decided that old markets aren’t worth anything. They are damn wrong. HubDub does maintain all the expired contracts, which are indexed by the search engines (like Google Web Search) forever, and you can of course search those expired contracts on the HubDub website itself.

PS: Democratic delegates from Michigan and Florida were awarded full voting rights at the national convention Sunday. – Yahoo! News
