Piggs:

<p>I thought I'd share with you a new set of prediction markets we launched at the eLab eXchange that take a different look at the sorry state of the economy.

<p>The idea is to treat the growth in Web sites that traffic in ideas or goods known to increase in a down economy as a new set of online economic indicators. Foreclosure.com is one of markets that watchers think is going to explode in the next few months.

<p>We're also tracking guns and God, and a several others. Wall Street Journal gave us a nod - which was fun. Click over and let me know what you think! You have to register, but it's free and we even give cash prizes for the best predictions! (All in the name of social science.)

Any idea how to edit a post? Those html tags are really ugly, not to mention unnecessary.
