Publication number: 20100088154Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for computing and outputting a timeline value. In use, model data about a product is received. Additionally, thresholds relevant to the model data are received or computed. Further, a timeline value is computed based on comparing the thresholds to the model data, where the timeline value is indicative of a current stage in a lifecycle of the product. Further still, the timeline value is output. Additional systems, methods and computer program products are also implemented. For example, methods are presented for computing and outputting an indication of product buzz and/or popularity.
