What is “Buzz”? In this report we look at:
Each month, we find out the “buzz” of a dozen or so recent or upcoming releases/products for technology, telecoms, media and entertainment.
We find out 3 key buzz metrics per news item/release/product:
1. level of awareness & familiarity
2. degree to which it generates discussion among peers
3. degree of excitement it generates
