Google Buzz Index: Big PMPin'

Google Buzz Index: Big PMPin' 06/28/2004 06:31 PM

So this week's Google Buzz Index might not be as interesting to everyone else as is it is to me, since I'm writing about Personal Such-and-such Players all week long, but it's something I really had wondered about, especially with the influx of new media players coming out of Asia. I really didn't expect "personal video player" to take such a huge lead, but there's no mistaking it -- that's the term most used to describe these devices. I'm a little disappointed, too; I'd much rather use 'Personal/Portable Media Player' as it is a more accurate description of what these devices can do. Once we ever get around to changing our categories, my guess is that PortableMedia will still be what we go with over PersonalVideo, numbers be damned.

Tapland's Scott Raulinaitis takes me to task for my loose science method on yesterday's Google Buzz Index, and makes one good point that I agree with, and another that I don't. My response after the jump.

Google Buzz Index: Next Gen Portable
Game Systems, Possible Xbox 2 Names 06/15/2004 06:14 PM

More loose science Google mining today, starting with a sampling of the five major next generation portable gaming systems. I'm a little surprised -- the Nintendo DS comes out on top, even over the Sony PSP. My guess is science is failing us here, as another query for "playstation portable" pulls up another 666,000 hits (oooweeoooh), which added to the to the "sony psp" results brings us up to 1,425,000, or about 200k over Nintendo. My guess is it's somewhere in between those numbers and it's fair to say the Nintendo DS and the PSP are, buzz-wise, in a dead heat. The Nokia N-Gage QD makes a sizeable showing, which is pretty respectable until you run just "n-gage," which nets a response of over 4 million. Since we're trying to compare next generation unreleased and just-released hardware, though, I left those results out. The Gizm(welovepigs)ondo is just a blip on the radar, in part because of the recent name change, and in part because it is doomed to failure. The Tapwave Zodiac does fare any better, which is a bit disappointing. Time to rally the troops, Tapwave.

The next Google Buzz Index, where we see which of the possible names for the second iteration of Microsoft's Xbox have the highest buzz, is after the jump.

Gizmodo Buzz Index: Blu-Ray Vs. HD-DVD

Gizmodo Buzz Index: Blu-Ray Vs. HD-DVD 09/23/2004 09:01 AM

Gizmodo Buzz Index: The most accurate graphs since cavemen first scratched pie charts into the walls of French caves. The upcoming high-definition format war is heating up, with Sony and company backing the Blu-Ray format (Sony confirmed yesterday - to no one's surprise - that the Playstation 3 would in fact use Blu-Ray discs), while NEC and Toshiba (and Microsoft?) is pushing the competeting HD-DVD standard. There's not a clear winner yet - the standards are just dipping a toe in the market at the moment - but for now, it looks like Blu-Ray is winning the GBI by a large margin. HD-DVD really needs a major product backing it now. How about Xbox 2?

Update: Reader Damian Roskill makes a good point that both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are planning to use Microsoft's hi-def codec, so Big M is (rightly) hedging its bets at the moments. In a way, that makes the format choice of the Xbox 2 even more interesting.
