And I also went deeper into the website and see that Meltwater has more substantive business offerings, meaning that stuff like this social media buzz thing are good attention getters.<br /><br />However, I'm still not sure what it gives me in terms of buzz. Maybe I just like my buzz vague and not quantified. But if I see numbers, my expectations are raised. <br /><br />Again, probably my own limited vision ...Nathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5473363577956111873.post-67002547068661912622011-02-18T20:01:43.922+01:002011-02-18T20:01:43.922+01:00Hi Nathan, thanks for your blog post and featuring...Hi Nathan, thanks for your blog post and featuring our infographic! We are definitely not in the business of predictions (on that front, we would have failed for sure), but wanted to ask who would win if the social media public were to vote on the GRAMMY nominees. Check out our blog post at http://blog.meltwaterproducts.com/2011/02/13/social-media-predicts-grammy-award-winners/<br /><br />Thanks again and enjoy your weekend!<br /><br />Kimling Lam (@kimling)<br />Communications, Meltwater GroupKimlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894350506463633239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5473363577956111873.post-39907056369950895772011-02-17T09:48:08.988+01:002011-02-17T09:48:08.988+01:00I'm not sure Meltwater makes that claim, that ...I'm not sure Meltwater makes that claim, that seems to stem from Wired. The tool can be used to find out what the buzz is about brands, products etc, and that is valuable. If you manage a brand you want to know what is being said about it. But that is all it can measure, what is being said, and anyone believing it can accurately foretell who wiill win ewtc is in for a rude awakening, be it Meltwater or Wired.Pontus Staunstruphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377111133727614283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5473363577956111873.post-36985680449027292772011-02-17T09:12:11.320+01:002011-02-17T09:12:11.320+01:00But to what purpose then?

Great fun, of course, but this company sees it as a viable business model, a real way to predict the future.Nathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5473363577956111873.post-54019414400499018512011-02-16T14:36:57.826+01:002011-02-16T14:36:57.826+01:00Nathan,
Got to disagree with your take on this on....Nathan,<br />Got to disagree with your take on this on. What's interesting about this is not if it can predict the winner (pr whatever) accurately. The on-line buzz about who will win is about as accurate as any gathering, say in a bar, chattering about the same thing. What is interesting here is the possibility to monitor the buzz from a great number of different sources as it happens.Pontus Staunstruphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377111133727614283noreply@blogger.com
