Might be fun to try:

From the game's FAQ page:
The Tech Buzz Game is a fledgling research project and demo, rather than a full-fledged Yahoo! product. We've launched the game now for a variety of reasons:
To see if search buzz (including spikes and trends) can indeed be predicted by the collective wisdom of crowds in a market To provide an index of "what's next" for technology enthusiasts
To separate the wheat from the chaff among the various technologies that O'Reilly is constantly watching and tracking; to measure which forces in the technology industry are truly disruptive and which are mere flashes in the pan
To discover how Yahoo! Research Labs's dynamic pari-mutuel market mechanism behaves in the "wild"
To investigate opportunities around predicting trends in search engine behavior, and how they relate to events in the real world
Last but not least, to entertain and engage ETech attendees and other participants in the game
