NewsFutures OKays “collective forecasting”.

Why reporting stuff about prediction markets means bugging the prediction market people till they spit the truth finally
If you have been a feed subscriber of Midas Oracle for a long time (we started in 2006 here, and in 2003 for CFM), you know that I act as a gadfly. But there is a reason for that. If I were a simple stenographer, re-publishing press releases (and making friends with the prediction market [...]
NewsFutures’s software and consulting on enterprise prediction markets

Il n’est jamais trop tard pour bien faire, Emile.
Saw this this morning (Monday, March 30, 2009) on LinkedIn… about NewsFutures, which was founded in 2000 (that was 9 years ago if I can count) by Emile Servan-Schreiber (CEO) and Maurice Balick (CTO):
