Dawn Tevekelian Keller (formerly at Best Buy) does not write for Robin Hanson et al.:
This blog is not geared toward the existing Prediction Market intelligentsia. While I would be honored to have fellow enthusiasts read and critique this blog, I’m not writing this for them, specifically.

CrowdCast = Collective Forecasting = Collective Intelligence That Predicts

Written by Chris F. Masse on June 25, 2009 — 3 Comments

The fine people at CrowdCast (Mat Fogarty and Leslie Fine) are finally out today with their brand-new, no-trading, collective forecasting mechanism. The purpose is to aggregate information across one organization so as to generate the most objective business forecasts. The readers of Midas Oracle are well aware of the (relative) performance of the prediction markets [...]

Adam Siegel:
One incentive that doesn’t get much attention is granting “exclusive access” to traders. The most successful format we’ve seen of this is picking those who are regularly participating in the marketplace, i.e. “20 random traders with 20 or more trades” and inviting them to a roundtable with a (very) senior executive on a monthly [...]

Written by Chris F. Masse on May 22, 2009 — 8 Comments

Robin Hanson:
There is now a prediction market industry, where I do a lot of consulting, most of which is to private companies. Most of these are on prediction markets, but some are decision markets.
