Hubdub
Hubdub was a web-based prediction market in which players used virtual money to trade predictions on future events. Over time users built up a portfolio of live predictions across their chosen categories of interest such as politics, sport, entertainment, technology or other categories. Each player's performance was tracked allowing them to compete on leader boards which demonstrate their knowledge and expertise in their chosen category. ==Background== Hubdub launched at the DEMO 08 technology conference on January, 28th 2008.〔(ZDNet, Between The Lines, January 28, 2008 )〕〔(Sydney Morning Herald, January 29th, 2008 )〕 Politics and sports tend to be the most active categories followed by technology and entertainment. Hubdub had a largely U.S. audience base which was evidenced by its mainly U.S. news content. On January 14, 2009, the company announced that it had taken on board venture capital funding of $1.2m from Pentech Ventures〔(Pentech Ventures, February 26th, 2009 )〕 although there was still considerable speculation around what commercial model the company will pursue going forward.
