All the elements of the Hollywood Stock Exchange - leagues, leader boards, contests, prizes, seasonal/weekly challenges - set the framework for a unique and powerful entertainment experience.

Unrivaled Experience
HSX has put its Virtual Specialist to work for a number of companies. In December 2002, HSX partnered with Fuse Networks, a division of Rainbow-media, to form the Interactive Music Exchange (IMX). IMX used HSX's Virtual Specialist technology applied to music and videos as the basis of Fuse's IMX TV show, which broadcasted live five nights a week. This innovative application was awarded an AFI Enhanced TV Award for leading edge interactive content.

When the BET network aired its reality show The Ultimate Hustler, HSX built the tie-in game to go with the show. HSX has also built prediction markets for the pharmaceutical, user-generated video and storage technology industries.
