Prediction Train



Prediction Train lets you make predictions in different categories and vote on whether you think other predictions will come true. You can track when votes were made as the predicted date approaches. This potentially would give an indication of the social climate.

Some interesting things have occurred - Dan Zen predicted Bill Gates would step down as head of Microsoft and in a sense he did.

The game is self-modifying in that viewers can vote to remove certain predictions.

Usability - lets you leave predictions on various topics. Each train has a topic. The trains at the end hardly have any predictions where the trains at the front have lots. Starting users off in a random train would have solved this but it was interesting to monitor.
