Yahoo has this TechBuzz game running, which works on a similar premise - trade the buzz words, which are most likely to be searched on the net. Buzz words concerning technology, such as Web 2.0, AJAX et al. One of the purposes that they outline for their game is - To see if search buzz (including spikes and trends) can indeed be predicted by the collective wisdom of crowds in a market. Further, they wanted to check out the efficacy of their search engine as well in parallel to draw some kind of a pattern with what the users 'will be' going to search in the future with the search results. <br /><br />However, the newsfeed that is shown in Trendio is picked up live from the 5 top news from Google News. (damn.. GOOG comes in here as well).@purVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593099531722801944noreply@blogger.com
