		<title>All the prediction market webpages of all the (real-money or play-money) prediction exchanges should be indexed forever by the search engines (e.g., Google) &#8212;just like HudDub&#8217;s ones are.</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NewsFutures&#8217; prediction market webpages aren&#8217;t. <strong>The &#8220;Michigan Florida NewsFutures&#8221; query should have landed me on their prediction market webpage about whether &#8220;<a title="DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES: A proposed solution for Florida and Michigan" href="http://www.midasoracle.com/">some delegates from FL or MI will be seated at the Democratic Convention.</a>&#8220;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;domains=chrisfmasse.com&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=spell&amp;resnum=0&amp;ct=result&amp;cd=1&amp;q=Michigan+Florida+newsfutures&amp;spell=1"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8507" title="newsfutures-google" src="http://www.midasoracle.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/newsfutures-google.jpg" alt="" width="675" height="546" /></a></p>
<p>-</p>
<p><strong>Alas, NewsFutures does not maintain webpages about expired contracts:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://news.us.newsfutures.com/market/marketError.html?error=noMarket"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8508" title="newsfutures-expired" src="http://www.midasoracle.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/newsfutures-expired.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Actually, <strong>the &#8220;market specified&#8221; did exist</strong> &#8212;but Emile and his team decided that old markets aren&#8217;t worth anything. They are damn wrong. <strong>HubDub does maintain all the expired contracts, which are indexed by the search engines (like Google Web Search) forever, and <a title="HubDub Search - Old Contracts" href="http://www.hubdub.com/p/search_results?q=obama&amp;qtype=m&amp;sort=relevance&amp;s_settled=1">you can of course search those expired contracts on the HubDub website itself</a>.</strong></p>

<p>PS: <a title="Dems give Michigan and Florida full voting rights - Yahoo! News" href="http://news.yahoo.com/story/ap/20080824/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_primary_scramble">Democratic delegates from <span id="lw_1219605953_0" class="yshortcuts">Michigan</span> and <span id="lw_1219605953_1" class="yshortcuts">Florida</span> were awarded full voting rights at the national convention Sunday</a>. &#8211; Yahoo!
