If you are interested in technology market games, there is more out there than Yahoo's Buzz game. Alexadex is a similar market game that is based on the Alexa.com site. I like the Alexa engine better, Fred Wilson had a discussion on the merits of Alexa recently, however the game is not set up give a prediction of what will be popular in the future like the Yahoo market. The price is just based on the daily reach on Alexa, not supply and demand for the shares based on future expectations. It is an important difference since the "wisdom of crowds" in a prediction market is expressed through supply and demand in the price.
