LOL at that prediction, @liveink. I predict Product Hunt will acquire a media media property before 1/1/17. ;)
How are you seeing people use the service today, @KyleR?

I'm co-founder of Knoda, a way to keep track of predictions so you can say "I told you so" when they come true and none of your friends remember. Excited to learn about other awesome products here on PH.
Thanks @rrhoover for adding me.
hi @KyleR love stuff like this! One thing to keep in mind is that most people "forget" the time frame (or don't emotionally understand the context of time), so following up is key as is the emotional feedback cycle.
I've hacked together something similar for only myself through followup.cc (whenever i get into a "discussion" with friends, I simply stop talking and make the prediction 2y@followup.cc and then collect my bragging rights in 2 years)

Thanks @liveink! In a lot of ways we combat time by serving as everyone's memory of a prediction. When you make a prediction, you set a resolution date when you expect to know the result. We send a push notification to people when that date is reached (which also helps keep our engagement rates very strong).
That's a smart hack you've created. I hadn't seen followup.cc before but just checked them out. Very interesting tool.
Another of our differentiators is a scoreboard of your all-time predictions in one place for all to see.

Ha that's a pretty good prediction @nayafia. Right now we're staying out of the interchange game as far as predictions/bets go, but clearly there's an opportunity there for us.

Haha well played @rrhoover.
We see predictions about pretty much anything, from sporting event outcomes to when Justin Bieber will get his next DUI to when a friend will propose to his girlfriend. 65% of our content to date has been sports, with entertainment, personal predictions and business predictions following 2, 3 & 4.
We just launched private groups so people can make predictions within a safe environment that only those they invite can see. Since that launched, we've heard whispers of some pretty... colorful... predictions taking place within groups on college campuses.
