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

The Harris Buzz study results disclosed in this report may not be used for advertising, marketing, or promotional purposes without the prior written consent of Harris Interactive. Products and brand names are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.

When the general population is taken into account, the Glasgow Games tops the list for excitement, ranked 7th in our all-time list

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and The Inbetweeners 2 also generate a great deal of excitement in this edition, indeed both make it in our top 15 all-time excitement list.

As yet there is little excitement for driverless cars on our roads! It’s something we’ll test again when it becomes a reality.
