mentions. Then came eBay (11,222) and Telstra (10,962). Meanwhile, the study described the technology forum site Whirlpool as by far the most significant with 46,355 posts that mention


technology brands. Next, a long way, back was the eBay forum (9,854) and Overclockers (4,726) . ADVERTISEMENT Amanda Little, Edelman Australia’s MD, told Mumbrella that at this stage the

said about them.”
