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.

Buzz measurement with Blogs
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.
