Humans are very opinionated. We have opinions about politics, economics, sports and everything in between. Enter the wacky world of prediction markets. These are speculative markets where market participants bet on future uncertain events. Just like the stock market, you make money by buying low and selling high. The most popular of these markets is InTrade. "Intrade isn't just an entertaining website. It is the latest iteration of one of the most important economic developments of modern times."

Honest Tea: The Most Honest City In America
Honest Tea is a competitor to the Snapple brand in the United States of America. They conducted a brilliant marketing campaign and social experiement. It was so original I wanted to share it with you. They wanted to see which of the major US cities was the most honest. They installed un-manned racks of their product and asked people to voluntarily donate a dollar per drink. The experiment was filmed and the results were tabulated. Watch this fantastic experiment and campaign unfold.
State of my blog - 1 month in
I started this blog about a month ago as a personal pet project to share knowledge with the world. Notice that unlike other blogs, there are no ads or attempts to sell anything. I wanted this to be a two way communication between me and you. I wanted to take a minute to say thank you to all my readers (new and old). When I started the blog a month ago, I wasn’t sure how it would be received. A month in and I am ecstatic about the positive comments, recommendations and words of encouragement.
Every blog starts with the first post

If you have any comments feel free to send them along.
