InTrade CEO John Delaney sends a good comment to the CFTC.
PDF file
I have read it quickly, and he made very good points —though not in a legalese way, so to speak.

I have made the same points to the CFTC. You’ll see that soon.
I’m off for a couple of hours, and will come back later to provide some commentary —and maybe I’ll republish his text as [...]

Google Reader has just censored Midas Oracle.
I have just published a blog post (The Best Blogging Software (WordPress) + The Top 60 WordPress Plugins) containing a PHP code line.

The question is, are the currently available prediction markets web services compliant with the era of attention economics? Are we able to attract a critical mass of users, thereby surpassing the tipping [...]
WordPress allows the Midas Oracle members to embed a chart widget or a YouTube video in their comments.
