The Industry Standard features news and analysis about the technologies that are changing people's lives and the ways companies do business. Topics include the Internet, mobile devices and applications, advanced software and hardware technologies, venture funding, mergers and acquisitions, and other subjects of interest to business and technology leaders. In 2009, the Standard won three Best in Business awards from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers in the project, blog, and creative use of online categories.

The Standard also has a prediction market, which aggregates community knowledge in a quantified fashion to better understand product developments and forecast industry trends. Think of the prediction market as an Internet Economy Index -- a way to track the sentiment surrounding Web businesses as well as other technology trends.
