Tonite, I will send an out e-mail to 2 or 3 persons to ask them, if they are kind enough, to review the mission statement of the Open Institute Of Prediction Markets and give me feedback. Many prediction market people and prediction market companies already told me that the concept is very “interesting”. It is a good start.

P.S. It won’t be called the “Open Institute Of Prediction Markets”, actually. (You think I am stupid enough to tell all publicly?)

Today, I am telling you that I am opening up the “management” (so to speak) of this LinkedIn group to (up to) 9 other people. That is, today, I am naming some “co-managers”, who will have the same power as I have to manage that LinkedIn group.

• Nigel Eccles of HubDub
• Emile Servan-Schreiber of NewsFutures
• David Pennock of Yahoo! Research
• John Delaney of InTrade
• UPDATE: David Perry of Consensus Point
• UPDATE: Chris Hibbert of Zocalo
• UPDATE: Adam Siegel of Inkling Markets

If a scholar, and/or a BetFair manager, want(s) to become a “co-manager”, too, let me know. Or any other smart person who would ask. It’s limited to 10 “co-managers”, for your information.

Let me know if I should invite one person in particular. I am open to all suggestions. Or do contact the persons listed above, as they have now the same power as I have, now.

-

-

The “ownership” of this LinkedIn group is still associated with Chris Masse, but I am open to all suggestions. Maybe the ownership should be passed to an Institute (or whatever), one day. [*] However, LinkedIn does not accept companies (and non-profits) as members of their social networking website (at this time). I am open to all suggestions to make this LinkedIn group open, successful… and useful.

-

[*] In that logic, the 10th seat of this board should be reserved for a yet-to-be-created Institute for prediction markets, so that the change of ownership of this group could be operated, at one time in the distant future.

-

The number of members grows we very day. We are 139, as I update this present post. But when you read this, the figure will be higher…

-

We are the world’s #1 social networking group on prediction markets.

1. How To Join Us

• From within LinkedIn, FaceBook, or Google Reader / Google Mail, send me (Chris Masse) an invite and I’ll accept it.

LinkedIn to moi:

Dear Chris,

First, thank you for managing your group on LinkedIn. We sincerely appreciate the time and effort you devote to your members, and we know they value it. Together you have made Groups one of the top features on LinkedIn.

This Friday, we will be adding several much-requested features to your group:

* Discussion forums: Simple discussion spaces for you and your members. (You can turn discussions off in your management control panel if you like.)
* Enhanced roster: Searchable list of group members.
* Digest emails: Daily or weekly digests of new discussion topics which your members may choose to receive. (We will be turning digests on for all current group members soon, and prompting them to set to their own preference.)
* Group home page: A private space for your members on LinkedIn.

We’re confident that these new features will spur communication, promote collaboration, and make your group more valuable to you and your members. We hope you can come by LinkedIn on Friday morning to check out the new functionality and get a group discussion going by posting a welcome message.

Sincerely,
The LinkedIn Groups Team

-

-

Pssstt… Yesterday, I forgot to mention that InTrade.net presents probabilities expressed in percentage, not prices, which they also took from HubDub.

-

-

Join us today.

Don’t forget to tell LinkedIn to show the groups you belong to on your profile —that’s the damn purpose (to get the web visitors to navigate from one profile to another from within the prediction market community).

By default, the groups are not visible on your profile. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THAT OPTION. Do it now. Hurry up. (What? It’s not done, already? What are you waiting for?)

-

-

-

-

Do join the “Prediction Markets” group at LinkedIn.
