Try “prediction markets” and “collective forecasting”.
Gimme Wolfram instead.
[Wolfram] Alpha, while imperfect, is ready to do all sorts of useful things right now. Squared feels more like the initial proof of concept for something that may take years to get right.
Looks pretty good to me. What is the problem?
The singular “prediction market” works much better http://www.google.com/squared/search?q=prediction+market
“Looks pretty good to me.”
I wonder whether we see the same things, on a different continent. I had the same problem with Bing.com the other day.

Google Squared couldn’t automatically build a Square about “prediction market”.

Here is what I get: http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~panos/Temp/square.PNG
Btw, what was the result that you got for prediction markets at Wolfram and you liked it so much?
Panos,
Thanks for the screen capture. Well, it is clear now, we don’t see the same thing. I see only one output (the first one, NewsFutures).
As for Wolfram, it is the opposite, I see plenty of things that you don’t see.
