All in all ProductBuzz allows the user to quickly see which products have gained & are gaining the most traction on social media.
Backend: ProductBuzz aggregates products from Producthunt.com (PH) and scans Twitter (other social networks are going to be added later) for mentions of these products. (Using Twitter's streaming API.)
Frontend: The products on ProductBuzz.co can be sorted by:
"Buzz" (total number social-media mentions since first appearing on PH)
"Heat" (number of social-media mentions per hour since first appearing on PH)
"Votes" (number of votes on PH)
Products update in "real-time" (the database is queried every 30sec). For each product the 10 latest tweets about that product can be viewed. (Updated in real-time.) ProductBuzz.co is fully responsive and works in all modern browsers. (Yes, even IE. (Well, IE9+))
Plans:
Add more social-media services. (Facebook is next on the list.)
Add more product-sources (HackerNews is next on the list.)
Create a comprehensive API to allow developers to build apps on top of the ProductBuzz database. (Possible monetization.)
