   The volume on these markets, for what is, after all, a global phenomena, should provide us with a good indication as to just how well HubDub is doing in terms of penetration. So far, I see that on the latter market there have been only 97 predictions. I would anticipate that they would need at least 10000 in the circumstances, to convince the sceptics that the company is really a going concern.
   Global news stories such as this, should be a gift to HubDub …let’s wait and see what happens.

     Niall, HubDub receives tons of Google traffic from topics such as celebs stuff (Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, etc.). Serious topics are only of interest for people like us. E-mail Nigel privately and maybe he will tell you which topics are the most popular.
