Why Predaq?
I expect you’re wondering why “Predaq”. When I was deciding upon a suitable name for my prediction market project I thought long and hard (it doesn’t happen often). I wanted a name that would explain what the site was ie a market. One of the biggest and most well known names when it comes to technology markets is the NASDAQ. Lots of companies have called themselves daqs or used the initials DAQ. Even the BBC, who created Celebdaq, which is a prediction market of sorts. So hence the name was to be “Pre” (short for prediction) and “daq” - Predaq.
Anyway, I decided not to use it in the end as the feedback I got from my research amongst friends, family and colleagues was “it means nothing to me Haydon”. So I opted to keep it simple stupid, and went for “The Prediction Game”. It’s a game and it’s about Predictions!
By then I’d already bought the Predaq.com domain name, so I thought I’d use it for this ‘ere blog.
