The Blogosphere as a Futures Market
| Sex and the City | Get Smart |
|---|---|
Based on a buzz search on Technorati, I predict that Get Smart will bring in move money than Sex and the City. Some things to note. The spike in mentions of Sex and the City is because it comes out this weekend. A better metric is to study the spikes before each respective film opens, giving us a pre-film boost of less than a thousand mentions. Come June, I ought to redo this entry and see if a more clear picture comes out. Another possible error source is that the blogosphere itself, mainly that it skews young and male.
