Even forgetting historical data, the prediction exchanges are hard to search for *current* prices. I'd recommend prediction exchanges mark up their pages using <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/">SearchMonkey</a>. That way prices can surface right on the search results page.

InTrade and BetFair's prediction markets should be archived so that Google Data Search and Wolfram Search can dig them and serve them to us. http://www.wolframalpha.com/ Exactly.

Doesn't really make up for lack of archives that Google can deal with. Panos, that’s very useful, thanks!

I coded within a couple of days a spider on Google App Engine that visits InTrade and stores the archival data. A pre-alpha version is available at: http://intrade-archive.appspot.com/ For any bug reports or requests for features, just email me.
