Re: Buzz measurement with Blogs



I've enjoyed blogpulse:
http://www.blogpulse.com/trend?query1=kde+desktop&label1=kde&query2=gnome+desktop&label2=gnome&query3=&label3=&days=90

I use 'gnome desktop' and 'kde desktop', which seems to work well
across a variety of blog search tools.

It would be interesting for someone to correlate those spikes with
particular bits of news. Presumably the december spike on both camps
was Linus; I have no idea what happened in late January to spike us.

Hi,

 A long time back Sri asked about using blogs to measure "buzz": bearing
mind that blogs are a small microcosm.  I do this a fair amount and find the
icerocket trends graphic really useful.  Here's one to measure GNOME, KDE
and linux desktop over 3 months:

http://trend.icerocket.com/trend?query1=gnome+linux+OR+gnome+desktop&label1=&query2=kde+linux+OR+kde+desktop&label2=&query3=linux+desktop&label3=&days=90

 You can of course do stuff like GNOME rules vrs GNOME sucks:

http://trend.icerocket.com/trend?query1=%22gnome+rules%22+linux+OR+%22gnome+rulez%22+linux&label1=&query2=%22gnome+sucks%22+linux&label2=&query3=&label3=&days=90

 It's pretty hard to tune the search for GNOME the desktop rather than for
the fabled animal, I used:
 "gnome rules" linux OR "gnome rulez" linux  VERSUS "gnome sucks" linux

 It's not fool poof but is a general indicator and helps you find posts you
can respond to.  For example it turns out that someone's been blogging about
things that sucks in GNOME but is a GNOME contributor and another that
"gnome sucks" less memory now.

 You can also build watch lists on pubsub.com, it seems to have the most
sources but gets spammed a lot.

 Regards,

 Steve
