Wow, what an amazing week. Lots of really great press coverage (did anyone see us on TV on Channel 19 in Charlottesville or on listen to us on Houston radio?) and an amazing in-running market on the Super Bowl yesterday. Thanks to everyone for there support.

Last night a new prediction market launched. If you were dotcomming back in 2000 you will have fond memories of The Industry Standard. Well they are back, and this time as a technology prediction market.

I’ve taken a look and I’m being asked by some journalists for comment. I’m torn between damning them with faint praise and making a couple of snarky comments. Secretly I do like the idea of competing against Guy Kawasaki but I’ve noticed some of their questions are a bit vague (which I’ve heard can cause problems :-).

But I thought it would be better to ask the experts, which is you (with the added benefit you are independent). So what you think? Will the ‘Hubdub to flame out’ market soar? Will someone create a ‘The Industry Standard to tank’ market and at what odds? Should I get my resume out?
