How to Track AI Buzz Across X, PH and IH
A practical guide to tracking the signal-to-noise ratio of AI product buzz across X, Product Hunt and Indie Hackers — for founders, investors and acquirers.
TL;DR
Set sentiment filters by vertical, track hot-score momentum (not absolute volume), and correlate buzz spikes to revenue events. The signal is in the second-day sentiment, not the first-hour hype.
Why day-two matters
Day-one buzz shows attention. Day-two sentiment shows whether the product survived first contact.
