[extropy-chat] Re: what to do (Robin Hanson)

[Hal Finney]

Another idea along these lines would be for Robin to start
a blog.  A couple of new economics blogs I've been reading
are Econbrowser at http://www.econbrowser.com/ and macroblog at
http://macroblog.typepad.com/macroblog/ .  The latter publishes odds
every Monday for the next Fed interest rate change based on imputed
probabilities from the futures markets as a superior alternative to the
punditry that passes for informed commentary - further evidence of the
growth in influence of IF style ideas.

Robin pointed some years ago to the granddaddy of these, Brad DeLong's
blog at http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/movable_type/ .  It's pretty
political though, very mainstream-leftish.  There was talk that DeLong
was angling for a position in the Kerry administration.  He's always
been heavily into Bush bashing, which is fine, but the other team doesn't
seem to attract nearly as much criticism.
