Buzz Game

I signed up for Yahoo and O’Reilly’s Buzz Game. It simulates the stock market, except you are buying shares for high tech products, ideas and trends. I guess they want to see if searche trends and buzz can be predicted by people. I know large multinational companies allow their employees to trade stock in products and or ideas and they are able to predict with good accuracy which ones will fail and succeed. Anyways, I am up almost a percent today. Put most of my money into PHP. Hopefully there will be a lot of buzz created once Zend releases a beta for their framework. Yesterday I listened to PHP Architect’s podcast with Andi Gutmans and he indicated that there would be some initial code released pretty soon for developers to play with. It looks promising, so let’s hope it more substance than buzz!
