Last fall, we announced our 2.0 Adoption Index Prediction Market. The market is a partnership between the 2.0 Adoption Council and Crowdcast.* We are tapping into the knowledge of E2.0 experts and evangelists to crowdsource predictions and insights about the adoption of 2.0 technologies within organizations. This is addressing a need we’ve heard many times – that it’s challenging to obtain accurate data about where Enterprise 2.0 is heading.
The forecasts in the Prediction Market will be “closed” based on a select sub-set of data from the 2.0 Adoption Council’s twice yearly member survey – the next survey will be conducted in May 2010. Participants can bet on forecasts until March 31. The results will be announced during the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston from June 14-17.

The close rules on all of the forecasts state “Trading on the forecast will suspend on 12/31/2009.” Shouldn’t that be 03/31/2010?
On 3 forecasts, the introduction asks “How will respondents answer this question in June 2009?” or “In June 2009, what percent …?” That should be June 2010, no?
I think the forecasts need just a little bit of TLC.
