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. The <em>Standard</em> has won a number of editorial awards since being relaunched as an online-only publication, including <a href="http://www.sabew.org/news/2008/132-2008BIBwinners.html">three Best in Business awards</a> from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers and a <a href="http://www.tabpi.org/awards.htm">gold Tabbie</a> from Trade, Association and Business Publications International. </p> <p>The Standard also has a <a href="http://www.thestandard.com/predictions">prediction market</a>, 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.</p> <p><i>The Industry Standard</i> has a popular Twitter feed (<a href="http://twitter.com/the_standard">@the_standard</a>) and <a href="http://www.thestandard.com/newsletter">newsletter list</a>.
