EURO 2012 tops our buzz list for June and SmartGlass pips Wii U

Harris's latest Buzz report is available. Click here to download, it's free as usual.

Not only did EURO 2012 top our list for June, it also tops the our all-time list for excitement of everything we've covered in entertainment, media, technology and mobile in the last two years.

We also covered Microsoft's Surface, SmartGlass and Xbox Music, as well as the E3 reveal of the Wii U console. We'll cover these again closer to launch. In the report you'll see SmartGlass ahead of Wii U right now, but it's early days and I'll be blogging about this particular mini battle later this week.


Here's a full list of what we covered in late June. As usual the buzz report looks at awareness, level of discussion and excitement.

  • Apple reveal a new line of MacBook computers
  • Diablo 3 video game
  • EURO 2012 football tournament
  • Flame internet virus steals data from sensitive Iranian & Israeli organisations
  • Internet “trolls” (people who abuse others persistently online) to be identified under new measures

  • Microsoft announce Xbox Music streaming service
  • Microsoft reveal “Surface”, their own brand of tablet computer devices
