The Confidential Resource – Sources and Methods for the Investigator
http://www.confidentialresource.com/
The Confidential Resource offers sources and methods for Investigators and Researchers. The word research derives from Middle French; its literal meaning is ‘to investigate thoroughly’ (from Wikipedia) and the most familiar image of the Investigator is Sherlock Holmes with his deerstalker hat and magnifying glass. Unfortunately, this is a very narrow-minded representation of the Investigator. The investigative process does not belong solely to the police or private detective. Investigation is at the heart of every human activity. Scholars investigate. Antique dealers and appraisers investigate. Investors investigate. Medical Doctors investigate. In one way or another, we all investigate something or other. It is the application of information collection skills, logic, and analytical skills. To investigate, is to seek a solution. The Confidential Resource is a modern analog for a Commonplace Book with the theme of Sources & Methods for the Investigator. A Commonplace Book is a written scrapbook filled with things one learns, but doesn’t want to forget. The name, commonplace, is a translation of the Latin term, locus communis, which means argument or theme for general application.

PunditTracker – Bringing Accountability to the Prediction Industry
http://www.pundittracker.com/
PunditTracker seeks to change the game by playing the role of public scorekeeper. We will catalog and score the predictions of various types of pundits, starting with the following: Financial, Political, Sports, and Entertainment. Pundits who demonstrate a track record of making of accurate, out-of-consensus predictions will appropriately receive their due. Meanwhile, those who are bombastic solely to garner media attention will be exposed, no longer able to free ride off of inflated reputations. Grading professional pundits is only half the PunditTracker story. The other half is grading users such as yourself. They are providing users a platform with which to make their own predictions (more on the mechanics below). They have little reason to believe the best pundits are the mainstream ones on television each day — in fact, there are reasons to believe they are the worst! By leveling the playing field between “pundits” and “users,” we hope to introduce a much-needed dose of meritocracy into the system. This will be added to Prediction Markets Subject Tracer™.
