Media buzz points allocation
-
Is there any information available on how the media points are allocated? Stories seem to have different points for same source, it looks very random and open to manipulation
-
We don't know precisely, but it's done using an algorithm that gives more points for certain positive words (this led to unusually high scores for "Victor" Lindelof, for example!) - then sometimes manually edited if stories are not actually about the person credited, or (as recently with Alexis) they relate to criminal activity. I agree it is open to interpretation/manipulation, I guesss there's an element of trust involved.

It’s totaly crazy I’m keeping a eye on Lucas Maura today he’s on 420 media points off three articles Moura must mean More in Brazilian lol 😂 no seriously the story today is spurs can win champions league all very positive champions win league moura happy to be at spurs every other word is a verbal orgasm sounds a very positive guy and as a spurs fan maybe even a little deluded but we all like to dream I hope I eat my words!! But yes points based on attitude hence why Dele Ali is a low scorer has itsalways negatuve articals Diving gestures and so on
-
The way things are going I’ve missed the boat at 2pm but in thiory Lucas Moura should kill the media buzz today 560 off 4 duplicated articals from 4 major outlets lazy journalism and more may jump on board this same story yet!!! You can so count the upbeat words in this story if you read it which makes buzz self explanatory I guess

@NewUser71518 It's a little outdated now as was originally written during the old 5p Single Media days, but we wrote an article on the finer details of how the Media Buzz is calculated which you may find interesting:

This is the full word list?

@Chicken-Badge Yep, that's the list. The combination of 'United' plus 'Victor' for Lindelof was also what made him so potent.

Not finding Victor on this list is there a different list or principles this blokes made? Or why I can’t find victor on list sorry if I’m sounding stupid?
-
@Chicken-Badge curious, yes victor doesn't appear to be on there now. It was definitely a case of him receiving points for his name in the past though!
-
Hey, this is a heck of a list and seems a very arbitrary way of defining ‘media buzz’ - but those are the rules....
Odd that Lucas Moura managed to secure an MB the other night, no pundit noise and looks like a self promotion (understandable being vocal with positive approach to life as at new club) and that was enough to win.
Can’t wait for the Chalobah return. The media will love him (apparently trendy and funny) and therefore not only a future PB winner, but MB as well😘
-
@Happy-Hornet Moura almost won mate, Messi pipped him just before midnight.
-
Thanks - A bit of relief as bought and sold Moura (pretty much even on my trade) and therefore didn’t miss out on the MB divvy..
Looks like Messi and Neymar only need to turnip (can’t get Graham Taylor treatment by the press out of my system) to get media coverage (don’t hold either...)..
Back to PB - great name Boudebouz fro Friday maybe...
-
I personally think the list needs amending yes he got piped at the end by ten pounds seen it coming
-
@Chicken-Badge Points
-
just as well but for that, would have been my first day with no MB for a while
