The directory now includes 822 URLs, labeled as online_markets/
papers/ news&blogs
(on their majority deep links from various blogs referring to
prediction markets that I'm patiently collecting on a daily basis,
using tools like rss feeds on google blog and news search etc, for
example http://gtziralis.com/post/14802234)
I'm eager to contribute content or anything, of course.
PS: I see Bo's 2nd idea as, maybe, the fastest way to wide public
awareness of prediction markets.
Best regards,
George Tziralis
