Predictify
June 16, 2008
Predictify realizes the dream of group intelligence for the general population, much in the way we’d like to harness it for national security and intelligence issues. Registration is free and users can predict the outcome of a large number of events including pop culture, sports, international issues, etc. Users can also propose questions to the Predictify userbase and even set a financial purse that will be paid out to those users that correctly predicted the response in the most timely manner. I won $0.39 predicting that Hillary would drop out in June. Once you’ve made a prediction, you also get to see some very basic results which are clearly insightful into which way the group is leaning. If you sponsor a question, I’m assuming you get much more detailed response data and you can also restrict who is allowed to respond based on some simple respondent criteria.
Unfortunately, when I tried to ask a question about bin Laden being killed or captured, the admins flagged it and pulled it due to it dealing with “death”. So no “death pool” at predictify, but still lots of interesting analysis to be had.
Anyone visiting this site will surely be interested in www.predictify.com
