This is a very interesting new concept I spotted at Springwise.com. It's a semi-serious webbased game, that challenges users to predict which media strategies are going to be successful, by putting virtual money into it.
How it works, according to Springwise.com "When users register, they get 5,000 virtual
dollars to begin investing. They can scan the markets for book
proposals, up-and-coming musical acts, script treatments and TV pilots.
Each is valued in virtual dollars per share based on perceived
potential. If shares of a particular book proposal are going for 55
dollars, for instance, the book has about a 55% chance of being
published. If a project seems like it might take off, a wise investor
can put his or her money behind it. Or, conversely, he or she can sell
if stock seems like it might plummet."
Don't feel like trying it myself, because it looks like something that will consume a lot of time... But hey, maybe when I'm bored I'll dive into it sometime ;-) If you have tried it and want to share, feel free to leave a comment.
