I always wanted to see a marketplace for valuable information. Think of all the leaks that we hear about and think about all the ones that we don't hear about.

You would go on it. List your information for sale and then blogs, newspapers and/or whoever may be interested can purchase it from you.
- coryl 14y agoI suppose the issue preventing the existence of such a marketplace is fraud (bad/misleading information). But many publishers don't seem to have a problem selling BS anyways right?
- rbn 14y agoAll marketplaces a fraud issue. You can always solve it via reputation points and/or proof. Even in the media they always say "Reliable source". With this marketplace the "source" can provide information to anyone.
- cyphersanctus 14y agoSounds like a great weekend project. Relatively simple to code, would definitely be covered by some tech blogs.
- andrewcross 14y agoWould be simple to code, but a marketplace is definitely not a weekend project. Getting enough supply-side information would be the big challenge.
- cyphersanctus 14y agoVery true. With this particular project, the actual substance is what is very difficult to find. It will also be very difficult to project the right sense of security to the seller of the info.
