Rasmussen Reports and Predictify Launch Rasmussen Reports Prediction Center
Redwood City, Calif. and Asbury Park, NJ (PRWEB) October 17, 2008 -- Predictify (http://www.predictify.com), an online prediction community based on the wisdom of crowds, today announced the launch of the Rasmussen Reports Prediction Center in partnership with Rasmussen Reports. Rasmussen Reports (http://www.rasmussenreports.com) is widely recognized by policymakers and decision leaders as the source for the nation's most accurate opinion polling information on subjects ranging from economic confidence to Presidential politics.
The Rasmussen Reports Prediction Center (http://rasmussenreports.predictify.com) will add a new dimension of interactivity and crowd-sourced data to Rasmussen Reports. Prediction center participants can research, predict, and discuss key developments and indicators in the politics, business, and lifestyle sectors, including Rasmussen Reports opinion polls. Participants are scored and ranked based on their accuracy of their predictions, building a reputation for expertise over time. Predictify then aggregates those predictions into meaningful forecasts, generating unique, crowd-sourced data.
"This partnership gives us a way to engage our user base and gather forward-looking information on a variety of topics," said Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Reports. "It's an innovative and powerful complement to our other research methods."
The Rasmussen Reports Prediction Center represents Predictify's latest deployment of its partner platform offering, which enables websites to create their own co-branded prediction centers with their own look and feel but with the analytic brawn of the Predictify technology. On each question, the collective prediction of hundreds or thousands of predictors can be filtered by demographic attributes and past predictive accuracy to identify meaningful differences between user groups -- for example men vs. women, Democrats vs. Republicans, or new users vs. those who have been especially accurate in the past.
"We're excited to work with Rasmussen Reports to provide a new way to engage consumers and a new data source," said Parker Barrile, co-founder and CEO of Predictify. "Our platform combines the simplicity of a survey with the power of a prediction market, making it fun for our users and useful for businesses."
Predictify's platform is ready for immediate deployment and can be customized for virtually any website or blog for free. For more information, visit Predictify at http://www.predictify.com/aboutus.aspx.

Conventional medicine appears to be younger than herbal medicine by only about 1,100 years.
