WebOfFate.com - Predict the Future

Think you can predict the future? Have a strong hunch of what's to come? Who the next POTUS will be? Who will win the Superbowl? If you do, you might want to look into buying lottery tickets en masse. Or, you could check out Web of Fate, a new website dedicated to the past, present and future, and the connections between them. They market themselves as a "social experiment" which harnesses the power the web, the collective hive mind of internet users, and semantic technology to find hidden relationships in time. Think of it as part conspiracy, part SEO, part shaman and part social network wrapped into one site under the guise of Web 2.0. User register and can make predictions, identify trends, threats etc with the Future Graph, browse the predictions of famous people, or make personal goals. Users can agree or disagree with other's predictions, and create time capsules to mark that prediction for future generations. It's an intuitive service that provides an interesting take on world events and things to come.

"Web of Fate is a social experiment that harnesses the collective intelligence of the web to visualize and uncover hidden relationships among future and historical events."

Web of Fate is an interesting concept. It's about language is someone confusing, but at its core, the site provides a fun way to discuss world events and the future in general. It can be serious or silly and even educational.

How do they draw connections to events that haven't happened? Are the connections made anything of merit? Is this something that'll hold the attention of fickle web browsers?
