MSNBC.com has an interesting interactive feature named iPredict in which people can guess future developments in news stories (hat tip: Mathew Ingram).  The program has a digg-like voting system in which participants can the likelihood of a specific event by voting “Very likely,” “Likely,” “Toss up,” “Unlikely,” or “Very unlikely.” Right now there are topics from “Harry Potter will die in the final book” to “Gas prices will hit $4 a gallon by Labor Day.”

Interesting (and kind of morbid when it comes to Harry)…

Let’s see how popular this feature is. I wonder how group predictions will fare.
