Economic markets are an amazing thing. The whole dot.com bust, the idea of putting your money into something that could be gone in the future, risk, possibilities, like a train wreak I just can’t look away from sometimes. Now Yahoo is trying to tap into that hidden public knowledge about the future with the announcement of their new Tech Buzz Game. The idea is pretty simple, you get an imaginary $10,000 to buy stock in “buzz words/terms”. The buzz is determined by how many people use those search terms when looking for things via Yahoo search. Buy low, sell high, maybe win a few prizes.
Could be fun, so I signed up. You can track my progress, my account name is josephscott.
