The Tech Buzz Game is a fantasy prediction market for high-tech
products, concepts, and trends
As a player, your goal is to predict how popular various technologies
will be in the future. Popularity or buzz is measured by Yahoo! Search
frequency over time.
Predictions are made by buying virtual stock in the products or
technologies you believe will succeed, and selling stock in the
technologies you think will flop. In other words, you "put your play
money where your mouth is."
Example
* You're bullish on podcasting; you buy shares of PODCAST stock
* Britney announces her next single will be delivered exclusively
via podcast
* Curious tweens everywhere flood Yahoo! with searches about podcasting
* Your shares skyrocket; you make a bundle
As a technology enthusiast, use the Tech Buzz Game as a window into
community sentiment about the future of technology.
