The Temperature Keeps on Rising with Michael Phelps Fever
Michael Phelps is dominating the 2008 Summer Olympics both in the pool and on blogs. His flawless Olympic performance to date has earned him six gold medals during the Beijing games with two more races to go. As Phelps continues his quest for the gold, bloggers will continue to have something to talk about.
Consumer discussion on blogs took off after Phelps’ gold medal win in the 400m Individual Medley on August 10th (.31%), grew when he contributed to the U.S. teams win in the 4x100 freestyle relay and continued to climb after he snatched the gold medals on August 12th and August 13th (.50%) in the 200m Freestyle and 200m Butterfly, respectively. Phelps continued to make history after his unblemished performance in the 200m Individual Medley last night, earning his sixth gold medal. Conversations spiked again today for the flawless Phelps with .45% buzz volume. As Phelps continues his journey for a record eight golds, I anticipate more significant spikes in consumer discussion online. We’ll all be watching this weekend!
