Yahoo! Tech Buzz Game

Yahoo! 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

This reminds me a similar game at TechnologyReview which is sophisticated and realistic. They call it Innovation Futures. There are technology tipping points like "Google will not announce before the end of Mar. its launch of a Web browser" and you have to predict its probability.

Do Check it out!
