Predictify is an ideal platform to expand audience participation in a new dimension -- the future

Predictify, an online prediction platform based on the wisdom of crowds that adds an interactive, forward-looking dimension to consuming news, today announced that it will provide a Prediction Center -- a community platform where readers can get involved in the news by predicting the outcome of events -- on washingtonpost.com.

The washingtonpost.com Prediction Center enables readers to research, debate and predict the future on major political, sports and business events in addition to local issues in the D.C.-area. Predictors are scored and ranked based on accuracy, building a reputation for expertise over time. Predictify then aggregates readers' predictions into meaningful forecasts, generating unique, crowd-sourced editorial data for washingtonpost.com.

washingtonpost.com's Prediction Center is Predictify's latest deployment of its partner platform offering, which enables websites to create their own co-branded prediction centers with their own look and feel but with the analytic brawn of the Predictify technology.

"Predictify is an ideal platform to expand audience participation in a new dimension -- the future," said Parker Barrile, co-founder and CEO, Predictify. "Along with providing a platform that encourages and rewards user feedback, Predictify's unique system provides easy-to-use graphical tools to analyze the results of its readers' insights and opinions."

"The Prediction Center provides our readers with a dynamic forum to interact with the news in a fun and competitive environment," said Jim Brady, Executive Editor of washingtonpost.com.

Predictify's platform is ready for immediate deployment and can be customized for virtually any website or blog for free. For more information, visit Predictify at http://www.predictify.com/aboutus.aspx.
