What Is Midas Oracle About?

Midas Oracle is a popular group blog about predictions. We are interested in:

• objective, dynamic probabilistic predictions;
• collective intelligence mechanisms producing probabilistic predictions.

We focus on collective forecasting, and, especially, on prediction markets (a.k.a. event derivative markets). We seek to understand their:

1. predictive power (investigated by many economists);
2. profit opportunities (sought by the traders speculating on the prediction exchanges);
3. hedging utility (employed by the risk managers);
4. entertainment ability (delivered by both the real-money and the play-money prediction markets);
5. prediction software.

Additionally, we publish on:

1. information technology;
2. inventions and innovations;
3. business administration and startup creation;
4. Internet marketing (in particular, organic marketing and search engine optimization);
5. world politics;
6. cinematography and music;
7. anything else.
