PredictionTracker.com? (37signals) -- "Wouldn't this sort of stuff make a great web site? A site that tracks the predictions of pundits and other experts (in all areas of punditry, not just usability) to see who really knows what they're talking about. PredictionTracker.com perhaps? Viva accountability."

Ahem, I do believe I proposed that idea on this site. Those guys just ripped it off. ;)

Just to let you all know, I registered seedblog.com so that we can do that Seed Blog thing. I just need to figure out how to do that.

I promised to do something in that post, and it's still on my list, honest!

Maybe it should also discuss 'facts' that are presented as true, but with no real evidence. (The number of people how've never made a phone call, 7+-2, both of which have already been discussed.)

Regarding Amazon 1-Click Ordering: I have tried to find out how many people regularly use it, but can get no information from Amazon. I know that I never use it, as I need my online-transactions to have a clearly defined closure point.

I predict that less than 1% of Amazon Customers regularly use 1-Click Ordering, and that Amazon use it mainly to illustrate their 'innovative culture'.

Maybe I should try the question out on Google Answers?
