    Trendio.com - The First Stock Exchange on Headline News

    trendio

    Trendio takes the high pressured, fast paste world of the stock market and turns it into a game. Instead of actual stocks, key words are used as the trading item. The amount of times that name or word is mentioned in the news the next day determines how well those stocks are doing. It´s a game to see who can predict what the big news topics will be each day and there are daily competitions to see who has the best perception. Words are broken down into categories according to news, politics, business, entertainment, sports, and technology. Each category shows what the latest trades have been, and there´s a real-time news ticker that highlights the key words as they appear.

    In their own words

    “Trendio is the first current events stock exchange. It is a stock exchange where words from the news are the stocks. The value of the words is calculated according to their presence in the media. It makes it possible to visualize trends in the media and try to predict what will make the headlines tomorrow in a cool community-based game.”

    Why it might be a killer

    This is a new way to aggregate content that makes it more fun and more like a game. It´s a unique service no one else offers and advertisers would want to try and get people bidding for their key words so as to build a conversation on what they have to offer. They also sponsor ads for products related to the key words for eBay and more.

    Some questions


    Could more instructions be given, because it´s pretty confusing what all the terms mean for someone not experiences in the trading stocks world?
