The weather enthusiasts behind Stormpulse.com are applying the concept of the wisdom of crowds to hurricane forecasting. How? Create an account at Stormpulse.com and the next time there's an active storm, tell them where you think the storm is going to go by filling out a slick little form. They're going to take everyone's forecasts and aggregate them to see if you (and the crowd) can accurately forecast the the movement and strengthening of tropical cyclones.
