I renew my call for boycotting the $400 vendor conference on prediction markets. Don’t pay $400 to listen to prediction market software vendors. (They should pay you $400, rather, to listen to their marketese.) They highly exaggerate the usefulness of prediction markets (and enterprise prediction markets, in particular). They don’t have a single use case to demonstrate their usefulness. There is no way you will get any R.O.I. out of those vendor conferences held in a phone booth.
Plus, the SF organizer of these conferences is a guy that has the detestable habit of hiding his identity under many pseudonyms (a female secretary, a “legal assistant”, a foundation director, etc.). This guy is a mythomaniac. Stay away.
Read Paul Hewitt’s blog, instead. It is free —and it tells the truth.
