Fancy your chances at predicting the future? And what about a barjeecamp?

If you’re a betting man or woman who follows the news, new website hubdub.com gives you the chance to predict the future.
Users sign up to receive some virtual dosh and then set the odds on any subject they like. There’s not much to do with Manchester at the moment – this football prediction is it – but the site’s founders revealed at yesterday’s Jeecamp event that a UK version is due to launch soon.
I thought this was a great initiative with compelling contnet but I’d love to hear what you all think. Please let me know belo – sopmething you’d use? Too gimmicky for news? Whatever your opinion I’d like to hear it.
And while we’re on the subject of Jeecamp – which was a bit like a baracamp for journalists – how about bringing these two things togther? An event which brings digital journalists, bloggers, content products et al in contact with the best developers, designers and all-round techie types?
Thoughts on that also gratefully received as we get ready to do a second M.E.N event, possibly in May..
All I know is that anyone who wants to hold a camp session on a one-click editorial publishing opportunity will have my attendance guaranteed and, from what I heard yesterday, will need our largest room to host!
