Haven't played it myself but Yahoo and O Reilly have had this out for a
couple of years now.
The Tech Buzz Game is a fantasy prediction market for high-tech
products, concepts, and trends

Put your (fantasy) money where your mouth is by buying stock in the
technologies you believe will be popular and selling stock in the
technologies you think will flop.
Its all based on search terms...
http://buzz.research.yahoo.com/dm/info/about.html

Has anyone actually played it. I signed up once but it looked a bit
abstract and didn't end up playing.
A tech people one but I bet there is a blogbuzz type thing already.

 Hi All,
 
 Matt Chadburn from Celebdaq just wrote a entry for us summing 
 up the remix activity going on in the Daq data space.
 
 http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/news/archives/2006/12/daq_syndication.html
 
 It got me thinking...
 
 Why not a New Media Daq? Maybe based on Search Engine 
 rankings or something?
 
 You could imagine Sam Sethi would have been worth quite a bit 
 recently, while Loic's value would have dropped recently.
 
 Come on you know it would be fun :)

Always struck me as a very clever way for Yahoo! to get ahead of the
curve market information on where to invest, personally... Wisdom of
crowds, and all that...
