`Live From The Edge` is a system for collaborative news prediction asking: can we work together to understand what will be the next big thing?

Whereas the likes of Digg and Reddit rank stories based on popularity, Fringy presents a list of forthcoming news items to an array of readers and asks them to predict which ones will be popular.

A leader board system motivates users to compete to make the best (most successful) predictions. Bystanders can leverage the value of these predictions by subscribing to the best predictors’ streams across various categories and media types, providing a free, crowd-sourced crystal ball for the bleeding edge.

This award by the You May Fund is a May You Live in Interesting Times commission that was made possible by Safle with the financial support of the Arts Council of Wales. The You May Fund supports Festival activity by Welsh practitioners and is funded and supported by Safle, the strategic organisation for art in the public realm in Wales.
