I was just alerted to Zapaday. A site, which has similarities in purpose to Recorded Future, which I have now followed for some time. " ... Editors and bots at Zapaday monitor 4.000 news sites and calendars for future
events and news stories. You can create and publish your own events and
calendars, re-using events and calendars of others. Together, we create
the world's most comprehensive source of information about the future.... Zapaday is an open news agenda and a global public calendar. Zapaday lets you
see the future with day-by-day events, news stories, facts and trivia. ..."
What Zapaday does not appear to do, based on a cursory first look, is provide a predictive angle based upon authority or aggregation of the future calendar of events. Or the degree to which in depth semantic analysis is being used. In both cases though, there is a valuable potential concept that could provide a useful measure of the likelihood of some future event happening. Perhaps using an AI approach, or just the judgement of expert analysts using the tool. What can be more important than accurately predicting aspects of the future?
