Let's face it, there's nothing quite so fascinating as looking into a mirror -- especially if that mirror is an HBO show.
Silicon Valley's hundreds of thousands of workers are about to get a long, luxuriating look indeed, as HBO premieres Silicon Valley this Sunday. And already, they're obsessed.
Of all the social chatter going on around the show, a whopping 27% is coming from the real Silicon Valley, according to data from social-listening and analytics firm Fizziology shared with Mashable.
And tech's fixation on itself isn't just limited to the Bay Area. Top tech communities drive just over 9% of chatter for HBO shows overall, but were driving nearly 35% of the conversation for Silicon Valley.
Chips and apps don't just don't play that well in Peoria, apparently -- conversation out of non-tech sectors like the Midwest were indexing lower than average, according to Fizziology. And seeing as the show features five dudes, it's perhaps no surprise that 66% of the buzz was coming from men.
So Silicon Valley is into navel-gazing ... but are they excited for the show?
That's a big yes: Most of the buzz is coming from people sharing positive reviews, planning-to-watch sentiment or just excitement that their people are [SARCASM ALERT] finally getting some recognition.
