## What is Buzzword?

What's breaking right now — and WHY?

Buzzword tracks keywords spiking across news, YouTube, X, Reddit, Hacker News, and Google Trends, then explains in one line what actually caused each surge. No more tapping through ten articles to figure out why a name is suddenly everywhere.

WHY IT'S TRENDING, IN ONE LINE
Every trend comes with a concise summary of the triggering event — what happened, who did it, what was released.

REAL-TIME BUZZ SCORE
Each keyword gets a 0–10 score combining growth rate, cross-platform spread, engagement, and recency. Watch it move live.

GLOBAL + KOREAN FEEDS
Switch between worldwide trends and Korean trends. Fully localized in English and Korean.

SPIKE ALERTS
When something explodes, a live banner tells you the moment it happens.

RANK MOVES & HISTORY
See what's climbing, what's falling, and each keyword's 24-hour score history.

MEME STUDIO
Turn a hot trend into a shareable meme in seconds — auto-seeded with the trend's image and caption.
