Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for allocating computing resources based on social networking/media trends in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). In a typical embodiment, a baseline computing resource allocation will be determined for the networked computing environment based upon historical computing resource data (e.g., stored in at least one computer storage device). Social networking trend data corresponding to usage of a set of social networking websites may be received and analyzed to determine a forecasted computing resource allocation (e.g., based on social networking trends). The baseline computing resource allocation may be compared to the forecasted computing resource allocation to identify any difference therebetween. A computing resource allocation protocol/plan may then be determined based on the comparison (e.g., to address the difference).
