Editor's Notes
- So why are we even evaluating a buzz tracking tool? We all know that more of our consumers are spending more of their time online Also generating more of the online content online (predicted 70% by 2012). Better perspective of what’s on people’s mind: heat map of what they’re talking about How are they talking about it – in their own words; with real emotion Form of risk management : we’re not the only ones listening Consumers are interacting and influencing each other If necessary, respond quickly and effectively So basically buzz tracking another of better understanding our consumers.
- 1) Large, brief, spike in activity – by 21 st down dramatically 2) Most of the talk was negative (each negative post assigned score of -1) 3) Updates in recall news produced significantly lesser spikes over time. Short attention span for this sort of thing.
- Not only does the unchanged (level) activity around Pillsbury show that people are not confusing Pillsbury with the recall, but then you can confirm this by looking at the main discussion topics for Pillsbury. See no recall-related themes for Pillbury In contrast, biggest themes or discussion topics for Toll House conversations were recall-related More specifically, the talk surrounding Pillsbury around time of recall (May 28-June 28) did not include any recall-related topics. Application where theme function is useful. (still not perfect – user generated interpretations, but better)
