Thursday's most followed - Inmarsat, Fifa, Horse Hill, 88 Energy and Greece

Greece (what a surprise), Horse Hill, Inmarsat and the ongoing Fifa drama were popular themes in webworld.

The deadline is almost upon Greece as it owes £220mln to the IMF tomorrow (Friday) but that doesn't appear to be bothering the newly elected administration too much. Premier Alex Tsipras left talks in Brussels yesterday, confident a deal could be struck even at this late hour.

What started just days ago as news that probably only football fans took more than a passing interest in has developed into a fully fledged news event. Fifa is the subject, of course.

The latest developments include that top official at the organisation and FBI informant Chuck Blazer has admitted that he and others accepted bribes.

He has formally entered a guilty plea during a hearing in New York.

Today, former Fifa vice president Jack Warner - one of 14 people charged by the US over corrupton, has said he will tell all he knows about corruption at the global body.

If the whole thing makes you lose hope about society generally, a new tool may be of interest to you.

People aged between 40 and 70 will be able to use the online set of questions to predict their own mortality as it claims to predict someone's likelihood of death.

In small cap world, oil investors are on tenterhooks after trading was suspended in the listed Horse Hill stakeholders UK Oil & Gas Investments (LON:UKOG), Solo Oil (LON:SOLO),

Doriemus (LON:DOR), Alba Minerals (LON:ALBA), Stellar Resources (LON:STG) and Evocutis (LON:EVO). Horse hill is a project in Surrey, near Gatwick airport.

An announcement is expected shortly, according to stock market statements.

Elsewhere, satellite group Inmarsat (LON:ISAT) was gaining headlines as it will be joining the premier FTSE100 index on June 22, while power giant Aggreko (LON:AGK) will move down to FTSE250.

Also in the news was 88Energy (LON:88E), which surged over 62% as its exploration prospects on Alaska’s North Slope were boosted by excellent nearby well results.

A joint venture between Repsol and Armstrong Oil & Gas, located about 50 miles from the boundary of 88 Energy’s Project Icewine, saw successes in a number of wells.
