Government Futures

This is from the very buzzword heavy press release:

Government Futures uses a collective intelligence approach in a Web 2.0 environment to deliver unexpected, actionable insight that enables industry and government stakeholders to anticipate and shape change. Collective Intelligence emerges from collaboration and debate among independently-deciding individuals, and can produce more accurate insights than a handful of experts. A Web 2.0 environment enables participation and community, and encourages users to add value to the information as they use it.


The website doesn't seem to have anything that resembles a futures market. It does have a survey that any anonymous, unverified surfer can take and a blog. They also have a pdf of survey resulsts on a range of topics from IPv6 Implementation to baby boomer retirement.

It's a new site, but so far it has a lot of buzzwords and no substance.

Look closer. At the bottom of the frontpage, they say they are going to launch a prediction exchange soon.

I won't blame you. I need a new pair of eyeglasses too.

I stand corrected. Thanks for pointing that out Chris.
